And of the Lord may learn.

May we be bold and fearless in spirit,
靈裡越放膽而無所懼怕,
Speaking the Word of God,
去傳揚神的話,
Do it in love and do it in power,

While living in the Lord.
天天憑主而活。

總是要讓祂在我身上顯大。
We hope in nothing to be ashamed,

在我生活中,祂掌管一切,
Our everything, our life.
是我生命、秘訣。

到處去傳講:基督是生命,
Sound everywhere abroad.
教會是祂顯明。
