I’ve turned my back upon the world
我已轉身背向俗世，
With all its idle pleasures,
和它一切的歡娛；
And set my heart on better things,
我已心向更美的事，
On higher, holier treasures;
就是天上的儲蓄；
No more its glitter and its glare,
一切虛榮、一切揚顯，
And vanity shall blind me;
不能使我再逗留；
I’ve crossed the separating line,
我已越過分別界線，
And left the world behind me.
世界已丟在背後。

Far, far behind me!
遠遠丟背後，
Far, far behind me!
遠遠丟背後，
I’ve crossed the separating line,
我已越過分別界線，
And left the world behind me.
世界已丟在背後。

I’ve left the old sad life of sin,
我已脫離罪的生活，
Its follies all forsaken;
棄絕所有的愚行；
My standing place is now in Christ,
我今主裡生活、動作，
His holy vows I’ve taken;
只願聽祂的命令；
Beneath the standard of the cross
我已靠主出死入生，
The world henceforth shall find me;
十架已將我拯救；
I’ve passed in Christ from death to life,
我願為祂舍去名聲，
And left the world behind me.
世界已丟在背後。

Far, far behind me!
遠遠丟背後，
Far, far behind me!
遠遠丟背後，
I’ve passed in Christ from death to life,
就願為祂舍去所有，
And left the world behind me.
世界已丟在背後。

My soul shall ne’er return again
我今永遠不再回到
Back to its former station,
舊日愚昧的地位；
For here alone is perfect peace,
惟獨在此纔有恩召，
And rest from condemnation;
完全安息、不定罪；
I’ve made exchange of masters now,
我今已經更換主人，
The vows of glory bind me,
對祂我要永伺候；
And once for all I’ve left the world,
我今在此永棄紅塵，
Yes, left the world behind me.
世界已丟在背後。

Far, far behind me!
遠遠丟背後，
Far, far behind me!
遠遠丟背後，
And once for all I’ve left the world,
地的捆綁就此脫盡，
Yes, left the world behind me.
世界已丟在背後。

My choice is made forevermore,
我的前途，一定永定，
I want no other Savior;
我並不要別救主；
I ask no purer happiness
我也不求更好福音，
Than His sweet love and favor;
過於祂賜的寬恕；
My heart is fixed on Jesus Christ,
我心已經決定事神，
No more the world shall blind me;
無論如何不回頭；
I’ve crossed the Red Sea of His death,
已往一切實為可恨，
And left the world behind me.
世界已丟在背後。

Far, far behind me!
遠遠丟背後，
Far,’ far behind me!
遠遠丟背後，
I’ve crossed the Red Sea of His death,
已往一切實為可恨，
And left the world behind me.
世界已丟在背後。
