这首歌是根据圣法兰西斯(又译为：亚西西的圣方济各)的祷告词改写成:
Make me a channel of your peace:
使我作祢和平之子
Where there is hatred, let me bring your love,
在憎恨之处播下祢的爱
Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord,
在伤痕之处播下祢宽恕
And where there's doubt true faith in you.
在怀疑之处播下祢信心
Make me a channel of your peace:
使我作祢和平之子
Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope,
在绝望之处带去盼望
Where there is darkness, only light,
在幽暗之处带去光明
And where there's sadness, ever joy.
在忧愁之处带去欢乐
O Master, grant that I may never seek
哦，主啊，使我不为己求
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!
少求被爱，但求全心付出爱人
Make me a channel of your peace:
使我作祢和平之子
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
在赦免时，我们便蒙赦免
In giving of ourselves that we receive,
在舍去时，我们便有所得
And in dying that we are born to eternal life.
在向己而死时，进入永生
