I’ve tried in vain a thousand ways
一再嘗試，終歸徒然，
My fears to quell, my hopes to raise;
我仍無法使我心安；
But what I need, the Bible says,
聖經之言，向我指出：
Is ever, only Jesus.
我的需要惟耶穌。

My soul is night, my heart is steel—
裡面黑暗，心硬如鐵⸺
I cannot see, I cannot feel;
我不能視，我不能覺；
For light, for life I must appeal
祂是生命、亮光、救主，
In simple faith to Jesus.
我所信靠惟耶穌。

He died, He lives, He reigns, He pleads;
祂死又活，今在呼召，
There’s love in all His words and deeds;
所言、所行，愛的發表；
There’s all a guilty sinner needs
世上罪人一切需要，
Forevermore in Jesus.
都在耶穌裡找到。

Though some should sneer, and some should blame,
有人嘲笑，有人咒駡；
I’ll go with all my guilt and shame;
但我帶著罪、羞見祂；
I’ll go to Him because His name,
因祂的名，我來就主，
Above all names, is Jesus.
遠超萬名，是耶穌。
