O Christ, what burdens bow’d
哦主，甚麼使你頭垂？
Our load was laid on Thee;
我罪壓你身上！
Thou stoodest in the sinner’s stead,
你是站在罪人地位，
Didst bear all ill for me.
將我罪孽擔當。
A victim led; Thy blood was shed;
成我祭牲，流血贖罪，
Now there’s no load for me.
現今我得釋放。

Death and the curse were in our cup;
我杯滿了咒詛、死亡，
O Christ, ’twas full for Thee!
是我應得之分，
But Thou hast drained the last dark drop—
然而其中每滴苦湯，
’Tis empty now for me.
你都為我喝盡。
That bitter cup—love drank it up;
苦杯，你愛為我盡嘗；
Now blessings’ draught for me.
福杯，我今得飲。

Jehovah lifted up His rod,
耶和華曾舉起祂杖，
O Christ, it fell on Thee!
哦，主，向你打下！
Thou wast sore stricken of Thy God;
你被父神痛苦擊傷，
There’s not one stroke for me.
使我免受刑罰；
Thy tears, Thy blood, beneath it flowed;
你淚、你血因此流淌，
Thy bruising healeth me.
作了我的贖價。

The tempest’s awful voice was heard,
狂風大起，怒濤駭浪，
O Christ, it broke on Thee!
哦主，向你進迫！
Thy open bosom was my ward,
你的胸懷為我抵擋，
It braved the storm for me.
作我安息之所。
Thy form was scarred, Thy visage marred;
因你為我受死、受傷，
Now cloudless peace for me.
平安我今得著。

Jehovah bade His sword awake,
耶和華曾吩咐祂刀，
O Christ, it woke ’gainst Thee!
哦主，向你興起！
Thy blood the flaming blade must slake;
它的殘酷火刃閃耀，
Thy heart its sheath must be—
須將你血飲吸；
All for my sake, my peace to make;
既已滿足神之所要，
Now sleeps that sword for me.
它的要求遂息。

For me, Lord Jesus, Thou hast died,
哦主，你曾為我受死，
And I have died in Thee,
我也在你死了；
Thou’rt ris’n: my bands are all untied,
你已復活，將我開釋，
And now Thou liv’st in me.
今在我裏活著。
When purified, made white, and tried,
經過煉淨、純潔、無疵，
Thy glory then for me!
就得進你榮耀。
