Prayer Songtext
von ‘Come From Away’ Original Broadway Cast

Beulah walks me to church — and when we
Get there, I light a candle for my son

And I do too

I suddenly realize what that music from my
Dream — it was an old hymn from when I was
A kid. I haven′t been to church in years, but
For some reason that song was in my head

(Sung)
Make me a channel of your peace
Where there is hatred
Let me bring your love
Where there is injury
Your pardon, Lord
And where there's doubt
True faith in you


Make me a channel of your peace
Where there′s despair in life
Let me bring hope
Where there is darkness, only light
Make me a channel of your peace
Where there's despair in life
Let me bring hope
Where there is darkness, only light

And where there's sadness
Every joy

OSEH SHALOM BIM′ROMAV
HU YA′ASEH SHALOM ALEINU
V'AL KOL YISRAEL
V′IMRU, V'IMRU AMEN

There is a man here in town. He′s lived here
Nearly his entire life. He heard that there was
A Rabbi diverted here and he came to find me
And tell me his story

I was born in Poland, I think. And my parents
— They were Jews — they sent me here before
The war started — I still remember some of the
Prayers they taught me. As a boy, I was told
I should never tell anyone I was Jewish. Even
My wife. But after what happened on Tuesday
— So many stories gone — just like that. I
Needed to tell someone


During El-Fagir, when most people are asleep
It is easier to pray. But at Dhuhr, I can feel
Them watching me. Sometimes I catch them
When they think I'm not looking — and I can
See the fear in their eyes

Excuse me? Beulah wanted me to check on
You. The library′s open — for anyone looking
For some peace — and a quiet place to pray
Ali lays out a prayer mat and begins to pray

YA'ASEH SHALOM (YA'ASEH)
YA′ASEH SHALOM (SHALOM)
SHALOM ALEINU V′AL KOL YISRAEL
YA'ASEH SHALOM (YA′ASEH)
YA'ASEH SHALOM (SHALOM)
SHALOM ALEINU V′AL KOL YISRAEL

O MASTER, GRANT THAT
I MAY NEVER SEEK
SO MUCH TO BE CONSOLED
AS TO CONSOLE
TO BE UNDERSTOOD
AS TO UNDERSTAND
TO BE LOVED
AS TO LOVE WITH ALL MY SOUL

OSEH SHALOM BIM' ROMAV
HU YA′ASEH SHALOM ALEINU
V'AL KOL YISRAEL
V'IMRU AMEN

YA′ASEH SHALOM

Alhamdulilah

Make me a channel of your peace
Where there′s despair in life
Let me bring hope
Where there is darkness, only light
