Oh, the Lord is quickly coming,
哦,我們主必要快臨,
1
Oh, the Lord is quickly coming,
哦,我們主必要快臨,
He has spoken in His word;
祂已在話中申明;
And confirmed it by the churches,
教會也將此事印證,
For His Spirit we have heard.
因聖靈如此說明。
2
Not to all the seven churches
但並非全體七教會,
Did the Lord speak in this way;
都聽到主如此說;
To the church in Philadelphia
惟獨非拉鐵非教會,
Did He choose these words to say.
主纔如此對她說。
3
Philadelphia, Philadelphia,
非拉鐵非,非拉鐵非,
Church so full of brotherly love,
你滿了弟兄相愛,
You’re the church to bring the Bridegroom
惟你能將新郎帶回,
Back to earth from heav’n above.
從高天到地上來。
4
He that hath the key of David,
那拿著大衛的鑰匙,
He that shuts and opens too,
掌管開和關的說;
Knows thy works, O Philadelphia;
我知道你行為,
故此
That’s why you’re His Bride so true.
作祂新婦配得過。
5
Not so strong by worldly standards,
你雖只有一點力量,
Hidden from religion’s fame;
沒有屬世的名聲;
Jesus loves you, Philadelphia,
卻是主所愛的對象,
For you’re faithful to His name.
因你對主的忠誠。
6
By His Word you’re overcoming—
藉著主話,誇勝歌謳,
How the Amen does resound!
阿們聲響徹雲天;
Just hold fast to what you’ve gotten,
只要持守你的所有,
That no man may take your crown.
免人奪去你冠冕。
7
You have kept His Word of patience;
你既守祂忍耐的道,
He will keep you from that hour
祂必保守你免去
Which upon the whole world cometh
普天下試煉的煎熬;
When the Lord comes in His power.
當主再降臨之際。
8
“I come quickly,
Philadelphia,
非拉鐵非,我必快來,
Speaks the Lord to none but you; “Amen!
是主對你的應許;
Quickly come, Lord Jesus”,
阿們,主阿,願你快來!
Answer back His faithful few.
是忠信者的呼籲。
