1
How vast, immense, and measureless,
我主大愛長闊高深,
The love of Christ to
實在不能推測;
How else could such a wretch as I
不然,像我這樣罪人,
Be blessed so wondrously?
怎能滿被恩澤?
2
To bring me back unto Himself,
我主耶穌出了重價,
My Lord His all did spend;
買我回來歸祂;
So I would gladly bear the cross
我今願意背十字架,
And follow to the end.
忠心一路跟祂。
3
My all I have forsaken now,
我今願意撇下一切,
This blessed Christ to gain;
為要得著基督;
Now life or death is no concern—
生也、死也,想都不屑,
What else can me restrain?
有何使我回顧?
4
My dear ones, wealth, ambition, fame—
親友、欲好、雄心、利名,
What can they offer me?
于我夫複何用?
My gracious Lord for me was poor;
恩主為我變作苦貧,
For Him I poor would be.
我今為主亦窮。
5
My precious Savior now I love,
我愛我的寶貴救主,
His smile I would obtain.
我求祂的稱是;
For Him, let gain be turned to loss
為祂之故,安逸變苦,
And comfort turned to pain.
利益變為損失。
6
Thou art my comfort, gracious Lord!
你是我的惟一安慰,
I’ve none in heav’n but Thee.
我的恩主耶穌!
And who but Thee is there on earth
除你之外,在天何歸?
With whom I love to be?
在地何所愛慕?
7
Though loneliness and hardships come,
雖遇艱苦、反對、飄零,
My soul can rise above.
我今一起不理;
This only would I ask Thee, Lord:
只求我主用你愛情,
Enfold me in Thy love!
繞我靈、魂、身體。
8
O gracious Lord, I now beseech,
主阿,我今懇切求你,
Guide me through every stage;
施恩引導小子,
Stand by and strengthen me to go
立在我旁,常加我力,
Through this dark, evil age.
過此黑暗罪世。
9
The world, the flesh, and Satan too,
撒但、世界、加上肉體,
Do tempt my soul apace;
時常試探欺淩;
Without Thy love and strength’ning power
你若不加小子能力,
I may Thy name disgrace.
恐將貽羞你名!
10
The time, dear Lord, is short indeed;
現今時候已經不多,
From earth my soul set free.
求主使我脫塵;
When Thou dost come, I’ll sing with joy,
你一再來,我即唱說:
Hallelujah, Lord, to Thee!
阿利路亞!阿們!
