O perfect Love, all human thought
transcending,
哦,主你大愛,遠超人所能讚!
Lowly we kneel in prayer before Thy throne,
我們今謙恭,懇求你座前:
That theirs may be the love which knows no ending,
使二人因你,彼此相愛無間,
Whom Thou forevermore dost join in one.
並使他們與你永遠相聯。
2
O perfect Life, be Thou their full
assurance
哦,完全生命,願成他們確據:
Of tender charity and steadfast faith,
不移的信心,並你的柔愛,
Of patient hope, and quiet, brave endurance,
如孩童信靠,苦或死均無懼,
With childlike trust that fears nor pain nor death.
不息的盼望,無聲的忍耐。

Grant them the joy which brightens earthly
sorrow,
求賜你喜樂,消除一切憂怯,
Grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife,
並賜你平安,平息諸爭競;
And to life’s day the glorious, unknown morrow
願他們共度一生未知歲月,
That dawns upon eternal love and life.
聯於這永遠的愛與生命。
