1
The churches are the Body
眾教會今在地上,
Of Christ on earth today.
乃是基督身體。
They are His testimony,
她們是祂的見證,
That He may have a way.
使祂可以安息。
They are the golden lampstands
她們在全地各處,
In cities far and wide.
乃是純金燈臺,
They are His fighting army,
又是祂所愛新婦,
And His beloved Bride.
也是爭戰所賴。
Chorus 和
The churches, the churches,
眾教會,眾教會,
Upon the earth today;
在地上的教會;
Lord stir our hearts for Thy desire,
主,激勵我心甘願
And build us, oh, build us, Lord, we pray.
遵你旨意,建造我們歸一。
2
Oh, how we need the churches,
眾教會無論大小,
All of them, great or small!
我們全都需要,
We need their many portions
各部分不可缺少,
To profit us withal.
都是為著建造。
Yes, Lord, enlarge the churches;
求主擴展各教會,
We love their needs to bear.
我樂為此效勞,
Enlarge our hearts, Lord Jesus,
主,擴充我心相配,
In fellowship and prayer.
與你交通、禱告。
3
The Lord’s eyes o’er the whole earth
主眼目觀看全地,
Are running to and fro;
來回不住巡行;
Those seven, burning, searching,
鑒察、透識我心意,
Our heart’s desire to know.
藉你焚燒七靈。
His purpose—many churches,
眾教會建造歸一,
Built up in one accord;
乃是祂的目的;
This golden testimony
為著彰顯祂自己,
Will thus express the Lord.
燈臺照亮全地。
4
And soon will be the coming
不久我王要凱歸,
Of our triumphant King!
再來迎接教會,
He’s coming for the churches
頌讚聲何等甜美,
Where His sweet praises ring.
歡唱羔羊是配!
Come, Lord, come reap the firstfruits,
主,莊稼已經成熟,
As draws the harvest nigh,
請來收初熟果,
And to Thy throne do take us,
提我們到你座右,
To reign with Thee on high.
同你掌權神國。
