My goal is God Him self, not joy, nor peace, 我心所追求,乃是神自己,

1

My goal is God Him self, not joy, nor peace,
我心所追求,乃是神自己,
Nor even blessing, but Himself, my God;
不是樂與安,也不是福氣;
’Tis His to lead me there not mine, but His
我能出代價,達到這聖地,
At any cost, dear Lord, by any road.
不是我自己,乃是祂恩力。

2

So faith bounds forward to its goal in God,
因信而向前,要得神自己,
And love can trust her Lord to lead her there;
憑愛而跟隨,永遠不他依;
Upheld by Him, my soul is following hard
因祂扶持我,我追隨不已,
Till God hath full fulfilled my deepest prayer.
直到神答應,我最深禱祈。

3

No matter if the way be sometimes dark,
雖然這道路,有時真可怕,
No matter though the cost be oft-times great,
雖然這代價,常是非常大,
He knoweth how I best shall reach the mark,
但是神知道,何者是我需,
The way that leads to Him must needs be strait.
得著神的路,永不能彎曲。

4

One thing I know, I cannot say Him nay;
一事我所知,祂永不會錯,
One thing I do, I press towards my Lord;
一事我所作,要將祂得著;
My God my glory here, from day to day,
一天過一天,神是我所要,
And in the glory there my great Reward.
至終的賞賜,神作我榮耀。
