O Love that wilt not let me go,
喔,那不願放棄我的愛,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
我的靈魂疲累,棲靠著祢;
I give thee back the life I owe,
祢所給的生命, 我交還給祢,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
好在那浩瀚深洋更豐富地湧流.
O light that followest all my way,
喔, 那一路跟隨照亮我的光,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
我把我閃爍的光炬交託給祢,
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
讓祢的光充滿我心,
That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
在太陽的烈焰中, 未來年日越來越明亮美麗.
O Joy that seekest me through pain,
喔, 那在痛苦中追尋而來的喜樂,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
我無法對祢關上我的心門;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
我在雨中尋找彩虹,
And feel the promise is not vain,
相信祢的應許不會落空,
That morn shall tearless be.
到了清晨,我就不再流淚了.
O Cross that liftest up my head,
喔, 那使我抬頭的十架,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
我不敢要求飛離開祢,
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
人生的榮耀已逝去,我躺在灰塵中,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.
從土裡開出朵朵紅花, 生命將永不止息.
