Father, to Thee a joyful song we raise
父阿，我們在你面前拜禮，
With all Thine own;
尊敬鄭重；
And in Thy presence sound a note of praise
現在我們這些兒女聚集，
To Thee alone;
是要稱頌：
Bro’t nigh, bro’t home to Thee—O wondrous grace,
奇恩如何帶領我們回家，
That gives us now with Thine own Son our place.
與你兒子一同親近阿爸！

How deep the holy joy that fills that scene,
知愛的人都知這裏的愛，
Where love is known!
何等的深；
Thy love, our God and Father, now is seen,
從祂身上你愛已經佈開，
In Him alone;
我父我神！
As, in the holy calm of Thine own rest,
現今祂在你的面前帶同
He leads the praise of those Thy love has blessed.
所有稱頌你愛的人稱頌。

He leads the praise! How precious to Thine ear
祂領詩歌，你耳何等樂聽
The song He sings!
祂的頌稱；
How precious, too, to Thee—how near, how dear
你心豈不也是一樣愛聆
Are those He brings
我們和聲；
To share His place: ’twas thus that Thou didst plan;
你心愛祂遠在時間起首，
Thou lovedst Him before the world began.
你也定規我們與祂同儔。
