Before the throne of God above 遠在高天神寶座前,

1

Before the throne of God above
遠在高天神寶座前,
I have a strong, a perfect plea;
我有一位強力中保;
A great High Priest, whose Name is Love,
這大祭司,祂名是愛,
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
長遠活著,為我代禱。

2

My name is graven on His hands,
祂將我名刻在祂手,
My name is written on His heart;
又將我名記在心裏;
I know that while in heaven He stands
祂今在天站立神右,
No tongue can bid me thence depart.
誰也不能將我驅離。

3

When Satan tempts me to despair,
撒但在我心裡控告,
And tells me of the guilt within,
企圖使我喪氣、絆跌,
Upward I look, and see Him there
但我向祂舉目仰望,
Who made an end of all my sin.
祂已除去我的罪孽。

4

Because the sinless Savior died,
無罪之主既已受死,
My sinful soul is counted free;
我這罪人就得自由;
For God, the Just, is satisfied
公義的神今已滿足,
To look on Him and pardon me.
看見救主,祂就赦宥。

5

Behold Him there, the risen Lamb!
看哪,復活羔羊在天,
My perfect, spotless Righteousness,
是我完全、無疵義裳,
The great unchangeable I AM,
是那永不改變“我是”,
The King of glory and of grace.
是我榮耀、恩典君王。

6

One with Himself, I cannot die;
與祂合一,我不再死,
My soul is purchased by His blood;
祂的寶血將我贖回;
My life is hid with Christ on high,
我的生命與主同藏,
With Christ, my Savior and my God.
藏在救主、我神之內。
