Universal Prayer for Peace in the World

Lead me from death to life, from falsehood to truth; lead me from despair to hope, from fear to trust; lead me from hate to love, from war to peace. Let peace fill our hearts, our world, our universe.


This prayer has a rich history found in a New Zealand Prayer book/He Karakia Mihinare o Aotearoa. It has also been credited as an adaptation by the Hindi Swami Chidananda Saraswati from the mantra Hindu Upanishads by Satish Kumar. The prayer was used in July 1981 by Mother Teresa in the Anglican Church, St James' Picaddily London.
