Though Christ a thousand times
基督雖能千趟
In Bethlehem be born,
降生于伯利恒，
If He’s not born in thee
若未活你心坎，
Thy soul is still forlorn.
救恩仍是無成。
The Cross on Golgotha,
各各他的十架，
Will never save thy soul;
還不會拯救你；
The Cross in thine own heart,
在你裡的十架，
Alone can make thee whole.
纔有能醫治你。

O, Cross of Christ, I take thee
哦！基督的十字架，
Into this heart of mine,
我接你進我心，
That I to my own self may die
使我脫自己管轄，
And rise to thy life Divine.
完全靠神的生命。

What e’er thou lovest, man,
人哪！你愛何物，
That too become thou must;
就要像你所慕：
God, if thou lovest God,
如主，你若愛主；
Dust, if thou lovest dust.
如土，你若愛土；
Go out, God will come in;
出己，神就進入；
Die thou and let Him live;
死己，神就活出；
Be not and He will be;
無你，就有基督；
Wait and He’ll all things give.
無物，就得萬物。

To bring thee to thy God,
你若要得著神，
Love takes the shortest route;
愛是最短路程；
The way which knowledge leads,
你若跟從智慧，
Is but a roundabout.
就難免常紆回。
Drive out from thee the world,
你若不為自己
And then thy heart shall be
尋求甚麼利益，
Filled with the love of God,
神的榮耀自己，
And holy like as He.
就要充滿了你。
