How can I ever stay away 我豈可再冷淡退後,
1
How can I ever stay away
我豈可再冷淡退後,
And grieve Thy Spirit all the day
使神聖靈終日擔憂,
While Thou dost wait for me?
恩主也在等候!
I now am willing to return,
我今願意轉身回頭,
And wait no longer, for I yearn
不再留戀,不再逗遛,
Henceforth to follow Thee.
就此跟主而走!
2
I offer now without reserve
我今將我所是、所有,
All that I am and all I have
完全奉獻,一無保留,
Thy purpose to fulfill.
從今直到永久;
Oh, may the Lord accept and keep,
惟願恩主悅納、保守,
That henceforth I may only seek
使我今後無望、無求,
To do the Father’s will.
惟願父旨成就。
3
When I look back, what grief and shame
回顧已往,又慚、又羞,
That I’ve brought none to trust Thy name,
無一靈魂是我所救⸺
Thy word I’ve locked within.
救恩被我全扣;
Oh, may the Lord anointing give
今求恩主用祂膏油,
And richly through my being live,
將我全人厚厚澆透,
That I may speak of Him.
使成救恩出口。
4
My gracious Lord has giv’n much grace,
恩主一向施恩深厚,
Exceeding e’en a friend my place;
待我遠勝知己愛友,
I fain would be His bride.
竟以我作配偶。
I’d share His life and suffer loss,
祂的生命我當倚投,
Accepting willingly the cross,
祂的苦難我該接受,
With Him identified.
將祂生命流露。
