Party Unity

Lord, make me an instrument of party unity;
Where there is animosity, let me sow forbearance;
Where there is blame, forgiveness;
Where there is injury, reconciliation;
Where there is discord, harmony;
Where there is arrogance, humility;
Where there is hyperbole, temperate speech;
Where there is doubt, new confidence;
Where there is despair, abiding hope;
Where there is gloom, insight;
Where these is spin, genuine candour;
And where there is aimlessness,
the enduring vision of the cooperative commonwealth.
