Our God and Father we respond anew
我父、我神,你愛在子顯明,
To love in Christ revealed, and praise Thy name.
對此我們再來你前響應。
He did Thy will; and for the joy in view,
祂行你旨,滿足你的心意;
Endured the cross, despising all the shame.
忍受十架,使我得你歡喜。
2
He, midst His brethren, strikes the note of
praise;
祂今率領許多弟兄歌唱,
We hear His song, our hearts responsive swell;
我們和聲,從心響應頌揚。
And on this day when He His voice doth raise,
當祂在此引聲向你讚美,
In spirit we do join and praise Thee well.
我們靈裏共鳴,歡然跟隨。
3
Chosen in Him, Thy well-beloved Son,
在你愛子裏面蒙了揀選,
We have our part in joy before Thy face;
今得有分你前歡呼、頌讚;
Predestined, ere this world had yet begun,
創世之前己經蒙你豫定,
For that blest world, where all bespeaks Thy grace.
要我有分於你兒子生命。
4
Sons loved and loving, whom Thy spirit
fills,
蒙愛眾子,全由你靈更新,
Our endless portion Christ in us to be;
有你愛子作那無窮之分;
Each with some trait of Him whose love us thrills,
每個都有祂的一分特點,
For Thy delight and joy eternally.
供你喜悅欣賞,直到永遠。
