Jesus, the very thought of Thee
耶穌，只要一想到你，
With sweetness fills my breast;
我心就滿甘甜；
But sweeter far Thy face to see,
但這甘甜，
And in Thy presence rest.
還遠不及親眼看見你面。

Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,
無口能唱，無心能思，
Nor can the memory find
也無記性能憶，
A sweeter sound than Thy blest Name,
一種聲音比你名字
O Savior of mankind!
更為甘甜、可喜。

O Hope of every contrite heart,
你是痛悔者的盼望，
O Joy of all the meek,
溫柔者的喜樂；
To those who fall, how kind Thou art!
你對尋求者何善良，
How good to those who seek!
跌倒者何仁德。

But what to those who find? Ah, this
但對尋得你者如何？
Nor tongue nor pen can show;
無口無筆能述；
The love of Jesus, what it is
耶穌的愛，其深、其闊，
None but His loved ones know.
惟被愛者略熟。

O Jesus! light of all below!
耶穌！你是世人之光，
Thou fount of life and fire!
你是生命之源！
Surpassing all the joys we know,
遠超一切我之所享、
And all we can desire.
一切我所能羨。

No other source have we but Thee,
你外我無別的源頭
Soul-thirst to satisfy.
能解我心乾渴；
Exhaustless spring! the waters free!
無窮寶泉！活水湧流！
All other streams are dry.
別流全都乾涸。

Jesus, our only Joy be Thou,
耶穌，你今是我喜樂，
As Thou our Prize wilt be;
將來是我賞賜；
Jesus, be Thou our Glory now,
你是我的榮耀、詩歌，
And through eternity.
從今直到永世。
