COPYRIGHTS Make Me a Channel of Your Peace (Prayer of St. Francis) Though popular opinion credits this prayer to Francis of Assisi, the earliest known printing was in a French religious magazine in 1912. Yet that gentle saint’s spirit seems evident in these words, a quality that has spurred many paraphrases and musical settings such as this one. TEXT: ANON., © 1912; adapt.
