Eternal Light! Eternal Light!
永恆之光！永恆之光！
How pure the soul must be
光照、鑒察我裡，
When, placed within Thy searching sight,
將我淨化，使我明亮；
It shrinks not, but with calm delight
面對這光，我心安詳，
Can live and look on Thee.
因我得以見你。

The spirits that surround Thy throne
圍繞寶座天上眾靈，
May bear the burning bliss;
雖可同沐光明，
But that is surely theirs alone,
但是他們僅僅享用；
Since they have never, never known
墮落世界痛苦光景，
A fallen world like this.
他們絕不知情。

Oh, how shall I, whose native sphere
像我生性愚昧昏蒙，
Is dark, whose mind is dim,
又居黑暗之中，
Before th’Ineffable appear,
怎能蒙神向我顯明？
And on my natural spirit bear
渾噩如我，竟也蒙寵，
The uncreated beam?
永恆之光照明！

There is a way for man to rise
主已開闢新活之路，
To Thee, sublime Abode;
可達榮美住處；
An Offering and a Sacrifice,
祂作犧牲完成救贖，
A Holy Spirit’s energies,
聖靈能力向我傾注，
An Advocate with God:
神前為我求祝。

These, these prepare us for the sight
使我成聖，活在神前，
Of holiness above;
永為光明之子。
The sons of ignorance and night
不必再受黑暗欺騙，
May dwell in the eternal Light,
住在光中，直到永遠，
Through the eternal Love.
都因神愛賞賜。
