Ye sleeping souls, awake
沉睡的人，醒起！
From dreams of carnal ease!
莫再貪享安逸；
Your couch of sloth forsake;
不要留戀榻上，
Nor seek the flesh to please;
不求肉體舒暢；
Far from this land of shadows flee,
遠遠逃離死蔭幽谷，
And march towards eternity.
快步邁向永生之路。

Aside each burden lay,
卸下每一重擔，
That does your course restrain,
前程不受阻延；
And onward urge your way
脫離自己、罪愆，
From nature, self, and sin;
使你快步向前；
Prepare the midnight cry to hear,
豫備聆聽夜半呼聲：
The Bridegroom comes, behold Him near!
看哪，新郎已經來臨！

Arise, go forth to find
起來，進前尋出，
Your true and faithful Lord;
你的信實之主；
And leaving all behind,
一切丟在背後，
In spirit hear His word.
祂話靈裡領受。
The pure in heart His presence feel,
清心得見祂的同在，
’Tis them He doth Himself reveal.
祂樂向你啟示出來。

Within your souls retired,
將你深處敞開，
His precious love enjoy;
享受祂的大愛；
And with His Spirit tlr’d,
被祂聖靈焚燒，
Your time in prayer employ;
隨時多方禱告；
And purchase oil, whilst yet you may,
趁著今日，多多買油，
Lest it should fail you on that day.
以免那日，使你蒙羞。

Give God alone Thy heart,
此心只獻給神，
For vain is all disguise.
萬物虛空不真；
O Lord Thy love impart,
哦主，賜下你靈，
The oil that makes us wise!
將愛澆灌我心！
To light our souls with holy fire,
但願聖火點亮我魂，
Which shall not, e’en in death, expire.
永不熄滅，至死仍焚！

Jesus, Thyself excite
耶穌，求你激勵
Our feet to run the race—
我腳奔跑不息－
To watch, and pray, and fight,
儆醒、禱告、爭戰，
Till we behold Thy face!
直到瞻你榮臉！
Nor let us ever tire, nor rest,
不要使我疲倦、止息，
Till with Thy full possession blest!
直到完滿達你心意！
