More love to Thee, O Christ, 願我愛你更深!
1
More love to Thee, O Christ,
願我愛你更深!
More love to Thee!
愛你更深!
Hear Thou the prayer I make
哦主,聽此求懇,
On bended knee;
成全此心。
This is my earnest plea:
我心真是切慕:
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
愛你更深,我主,
More love to Thee, More love to Thee.
愛你更深,愛你更深!
2
Once earthly joy I craved,
前我追求世福、
Sought peace and rest;
貪享安樂,
Now Thee alone I seek,
今只尋求基督,
Give what is best;
解我乾渴;
This all my prayer shall be:
我今惟獨切慕:
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
愛你更深,我主,
More love to Thee, More love to Thee!
愛你更深,愛你更深!
3
Let sorrow do its work,
差遣痛苦、傷悲,
Send grief and pain;
將我試煉;
Sweet are Thy messengers,
主,你使者何美!
Sweet their refrain,
其歌何甜!
When they can sing with me:
我同它們唱出:
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
愛你更深,我主,
More love to Thee, More love to Thee!
愛你更深,愛你更深!
4
Then shall my latest breath
直到呼吸漸促,
Whisper Thy praise;
歌聲漸收,
This be the parting cry
我心仍要發出
My heart shall raise;
臨別節奏,
This still its prayer shall be:
且要永遠渴慕:
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
愛你更深,我主,
More love to Thee, More love to Thee!
愛你更深,愛你更深!
