In the secret of His presence
在祂同在的隱密處，
How my soul delights to hide!
我得安居何甘美！
Oh, how precious are the lessons
在祂面前時常俯伏，
Which I learn at Jesus’ side!
所學功課何寶貴！
Earthly cares can never vex me,
憂慮不能將我攪擾，
Neither trials lay me low;
試煉也不能壓住；
For when Satan comes to tempt me,
每逢撒但引誘吼叫，
To the secret place I go.
我就到祂隱密處。

When my soul is faint and thirsty,
當我帶著疲倦、乾渴，
’Neath the shadow of His wing
來到祂的翅膀間，
There is cool and pleasant shelter,
就得蔭庇，涼爽、快樂，
And a fresh and crystal spring;
活泉清澈而新鮮；
And my Savior rests beside me,
在此投身救主胸懷，
As we hold communion sweet;
彼此交通滿香甜；
If I tried, I could not utter
我雖嘗試，也說不來
What He says when thus we meet.
祂那祕密的語言。

Only this I know: I tell Him
但有一事是我所知：
All my doubts and griefs and fears;
當我向祂訴苦情，
Oh, how patiently He listens!
祂就耐心聽我心事，
And my drooping soul He cheers;
並且鼓舞我萎靈。
Do you think He ne’er reproves me?
你想從來祂不責備？
What a false friend He would be,
那祂就是很虛偽！
If He never, never told me
如果祂是從來也未
Of the sins which He must see!
責備祂所見的罪。

Would you like to know that sweetness
這隱密處如何美佳，
Of the secret of the Lord?
如果你也願知曉，
Go and hide beneath His shadow;
請去住在祂的蔭下，
This shall then be your reward;
就必嘗到這味道；
And whene’er you leave the silence
若你的靈與祂相交，
Of that happy meeting-place,
安靜住於祂榮光，
By the Spirit bear the image
你的臉面就必反照
Of the Master in your face.
祂那榮美的形像。
