Why should I fear the darkest hour,
為何懼怕黑暗時光，
Or tremble at the tempter’s power?
或被試探能力驚慌？
Jesus vouchsafes to be my tower.
既有耶穌在我身旁。

Though hot the fight, why quit the field?
戰爭雖凶，為何退縮？
Why must I either fly or yield,
為何必須投降逃脫？
Since Jesus is my mighty shield?
既有耶穌擋住敵火。

When creature comforts fade and die,
人的安慰，逐漸消失，
Worldlings may weep, but why should I?
世人哀哭，我何如斯？
Jesus still lives, and still is nigh.
祂仍親近，祂仍在此。

Though all the flocks and herds were dead,
棚內無牛、圈內絕羊，
My soul a famine need not dread,
但我魂仍不懼饑荒，
For Jesus is my living bread.
因耶穌是我生命糧。

I know not what may soon betide,
我不知將遇何事故，
Or how my wants shall be supplied;
或我缺乏如何應付，
But Jesus knows, and will provide.
但祂知道，並能補足。

Though sin would fill me with distress,
雖然罪惡令我苦惱，
The throne of grace I dare address,
但我仍敢座前祈禱，
For Jesus is my righteousness.
因有耶穌作我中保。

Though faint my prayers and cold my love,
禱告無力，愛心冷淡，
My steadfast hope shall not remove,
但我盼望堅定不變，
While Jesus intercedes above.
因主為我代求在天。

Against me earth and hell combine;
世界、地獄聯手攻擊，
But on my side is power divine;
神聖能力伴我不離，
Jesus is all, and He is mine!
主是一切，祂是我的！
