這首歌是根據聖法蘭西斯(又譯為：亞西西的聖方濟各)的禱告詞改寫成:
Make me a channel of your peace:
使我作禰和平之子
Where there is hatred, let me bring your love,
在憎恨之處播下禰的愛
Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord,
在傷痕之處播下禰寬恕
And where there's doubt true faith in you.
在懷疑之處播下禰信心
Make me a channel of your peace:
使我作禰和平之子
Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope,
在絕望之處帶去盼望
Where there is darkness, only light,
在幽暗之處帶去光明
And where there's sadness, ever joy.
在憂愁之處帶去歡樂
O Master, grant that I may never seek
哦，主啊，使我不為己求
So much to be consoled as to console;
少求被安慰，但求被安慰人
To be understood as to understand,
少求被理解，但求理解人
To be loved, as to love with all my soul!
少求被愛，但求全心付出愛人
Make me a channel of your peace:
使我作禰和平之子
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
在赦免時，我們便蒙赦免
In giving of ourselves that we receive,
在舍去時，我們便有所得
And in dying that we are born to eternal life.
在向己而死時，進入永生
