Lord, reveal Thyself to me, 求主啟示主自己,
1
Lord, reveal Thyself to me,
求主啟示主自己,
That the flesh I’ll fully know;
使我認識我肉體;
May Thy grace so work in me,
願主恩典大作工,
That in dust I’ll lowly bow.
使我俯伏灰塵中。
How I long for victory,
我雖羡慕能得勝,
Yet, thru all my life, how weak!
終我一生總無能,
Evil things I cannot leave,
善雖願意作不來,
Nor can do the good I seek.
惡雖恨惡脫不開。
2
Inwardly I want the Lord,
裡面意思雖要神,
But my conduct hateful is;
外頭行為總可恨;
Though I would, I cannot change,
愛莫能助將奈何!
O what real bondage ’tis!
事與願違真束縛!
By God’s law my sin’s revealed,
神律纔顯罪便在,
But the law of sin doth bind;
善念一動惡也來;
Though I struggle to be free,
肢體的律擄了我,
No release my soul can find.
掙扎奮鬥終難脫。
3
Many times I fall and rise,
多次跌倒多次起,
Oft resolve, and often fail;
時而立志時而遺,
Craving vict’ry, I retreat,
要求得勝反退潰,
And my sad defeat bewail.
願意成聖倒污穢。
Truly I am sold to sin
我實已是賣給罪,
And completely powerless;
我真已經無能為,
There’s no good within my flesh,
我的肉體沒良善,
All is dark and sinfulness.
我的自己乃黑暗。
4
Now I know myself in part,
我今已略識自己,
And confess my helplessness;
實在沒有一點力,
All my temperament is odd,
我的性情真古怪,
All my life corrupted is.
我的生命全敗壞;
Subtle self I cannot trust,
自己詭詐不可靠,
Nor to fleshly strength can cling;
肉體軟弱不能保,
All my trust and all my hope
我今所有的盼望,
Are in Jesus Christ my King.
都在耶穌我的王。
5
May the Cross put me to death
求主十架治死我,
That on Christ I may rely;
使我靠主而生活;
May His Holy Spirit fill,
求主聖靈充滿我,
That Himself I may apply.
使我憑主而工作;
May His death so work in me
願主的死在我身,
Daily deeper than before,
天天作工比前深,
That my self may be destroyed
讓我自己全消滅,
And His life thru me may pour.
讓主生命來提挈。
6
O how bitter is my case!
我的光景真是苦,
Who this wretched slave can free,
誰能使我不為奴,
Who deliver from this death,
救我脫離取死身,
To a life of victory?
使我能夠常得勝?
Jesus shed His blood for me,
耶穌為我流寶血,
Christ is now my holiness;
基督作我的聖潔,
I receive Him as my life
我今接祂為生命,
And my portion measureless.
我今服祂的號令。
7
Now I’m wholly sanctified,
完全聖潔無惡意!
Selfless, I obey His word;
完全順服無自己!
Nevermore to feel ashamed
不再覺羞到父前!
When I come before the Lord.
不再難過見主面!
How transcendent is this life!
哦,這生命何等高!
Grace thru faith He gives to me!
一信主恩即臨到!
Praise the Lord, He heard my cry
感謝主今聽呼求,
And has made me wholly free.
使我完全得自由。
