How shall I follow Him I serve?
我當如何愛我的主？
How shall I copy Him I love?
如何奉獻使祂歡喜？
Nor from those blessed footsteps swerve,
不稍離開祂的道路，
Which lead me to His seat above?
學習如何與祂親密？

Privations, sorrows, bitter scorn,
窮困、憂患、被人厭棄，
The life of toil, the mean abode,
勞苦重擔，寄身陋屋，
The faithless kiss, the crown of thorn—
荊棘冠冕，虛偽禮儀⸺
Are these the consecrated road?
難道這是奉獻道路？

Lord, should my path through suff’ring lie,
我的途徑若是痛苦，
Forbid it I should e’er repine;
主，我求你，禁我退縮，
Still let me turn to Calvary,
使我仍然向你順服，
Nor heed my griefs, rememb’ring Thine.
追憶你的十架重負。

O let me think how Thou didst leave
讓我思念，你曾如何
Untasted every pure delight,
離開許多純潔樂事，
To fast, to faint, to watch, to grieve,
來憂、來餓、來倦、來渴，
The toilsome day, the homeless night:
無家之夜，不息之日。

To faint, to grieve, to die for me!
為我來憂、來倦、來死，
Thou camest, not Thyself to please;
你來不求自己喜悅；
And, dear as earthly comforts be,
地上安逸雖難推辭，
Shall I not love Thee more than these?
我豈愛你不勝這些？

是的，我算萬事為損，
為要來得你的注意；
丟棄萬事雖如土糞，
為著愛你有何可惜？
