Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost, 恩惠聖靈我導師,
1
Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost,
恩惠聖靈我導師,
Taught by You, we covet most,
感動我心來等待,
Of Your gifts at Pentecost,
五旬所賜的恩賜:
Holy heavenly love.
屬天的聖愛。
2
Faith that mountains could remove,
雖有移山的信心、
Tongues of earth or heaven above,
知識、萬人的方言,
Knowledge, all things, empty prove
卻無屬天的愛心,
Without heavenly love.
一切仍枉然。
3
Love is kind, and suffers long,
雖我殉道並捨己,
Love is meek, and thinks no wrong,
一切為窮人傾倒,
Love than death itself more strong:
若是無愛仍空虛;
Therefore give us love.
愛
是我所要。
4
Though I as a martyr bleed,
愛是溫柔、肯原諒,
Give my goods the poor to feed,
愛是仁慈、常忍耐,
All is vain if love I need;
這愛比死更堅強;
Therefore give me love.
主,賜我這愛。
5
Prophecy will fade away
講道之能和知識,
Melting in the light of day;
有日終必歸無有;
Love will ever with us stay:
惟有愛永無終日;
Therefore give us love.
愛
是我所求。
6
Faith, and hope, and love we see
如今主裡所常存,
Joining hand in hand, agree;
有信,有望,並有愛,
But the greatest of the three,
有如三股合成繩,
And the best, is love.
但最大是愛。
