In yonder heav’nly height;
Ye angels, all His hosts,
In joyful praise unite;
O sun and moon, declare His might,
Show forth His praise, ye stars of light.
Praise Him, ye clouds that roll,
Created by His pow’r
And under His control,
Ye heav’ns that stand eternally,
Established by His firm decree.
And creatures on the earth,
Your mighty Maker praise
And tell His matchless worth;
Praise Him, ye stormy winds that blow,
Ye fire and hail, ye rain and snow.
Each tree and beast and bird;
Ye kings and realms of earth,
Now let your praise be heard;
By high and low, by young and old,
Be all His praise and glory told.
For He alone is great;
Above the earth and heav’n
He reigns in glorious state;
Praise Him, ye saints, who know His grace
And ever dwell before His face.
both to serve and adore.
Make her again as salt throughout the land,
and as light from a stand.
’Mid somber shadows of the night,
where greed and hatred spread their blight,
O send us forth with pow’r endued:
help us, Lord, be renewed!
on our path let it shine.
Tell of thy works, thy mighty acts of grace;
from each page show thy face.
As thou hast loved us, sent thy Son,
and our salvation now is won.
O let our hearts with love be stirred:
help us, Lord, know thy Word!
thy still voice let us hear.
Our souls are restless till they rest in thee:
this our glad destiny.
Before thy presence keep us still,
that we may find for us thy will
and seek thy guidance every day:
teach us, Lord, how to pray!
everyone, all mankind.
Break down old walls of prejudice and hate;
leave us not to our fate.
As thou hast loved and giv’n thy life
to end hostility and strife,
O share thy grace from heav’n above:
teach us, Lord, how to love!
Regard my suppliant cry,
And in Thy faithfulness
And righteousness reply.
In judgment do not cause
Thy servant to be tried;
Before Thy holy laws
No man is justified.
Let me not plead in vain;
I wait as weary lands
Wait for refreshing rain.
O let the morn return,
Let mercy light my day;
For Thee in faith I yearn,
O guide me in the way.
From trouble and distress,
My erring feet shall tread
The path of uprightness.
O Lord, for Thy Name’s sake
Revive my fainting heart;
My soul from trouble take,
For just and true Thou art.
over life’s tempestuous sea;
unknown waves before me roll,
hiding rock and treach’rous shoal;
chart and compass come from thee:
Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
thou canst hush the ocean wild;
boist’rous waves obey thy will
when thou say’st to them, “Be still.”
Wondrous Sovereign of the sea,
Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
and the fearful breakers roar
’twixt me and the peaceful rest,
then, while leaning on thy breast,
may I hear thee say to me,
“Fear not, I will pilot thee.”
Eternal King of kings,
Who only is omnipotent,
Performing wondrous things.
For evermore, Amen,
And let His glory fill the earth
From shore to shore. Amen.
As pants the hart for streams of living water,
就如野鹿渴望清溪活水;
So longs my soul, O living God, for Thee;
我心灵饥渴,热望祢的同在,
I thirst for Thee, for Thee my heart is yearning;
何时我面对面朝见恩主。
When shall I come Thy gracious face to see?
O Lord my God, o’erwhelmed in deep affliction,
远离安息处,我要仰望祢;
Far from Thy rest, to Thee I lift my soul;
烦恼像雷暴,深渊回应深渊,
Deep calls to deep and storms of trouble thunder,
惊涛骇浪汹涌漫过我身。
While o’er my head the waves and billows roll.
Thou wilt command Thy servant’s consolation,
祢慈爱临到,白昼我欢欣;
Thy lovingkindness yet shall cheer my day,
祢的诗歌在黑夜是我安慰,
And in the night Thy song shall be my comfort;
生命之主,我仍向祢祈祷。
God of my life, to Thee I still will pray.
Why, O my soul, art thou cast down within me,
为何我心内被烦躁压倒?
Why art thou troubled and oppressed with grief?
希望在主,祂是你救恩的主,
Hope thou in God, the God of thy salvation,
你当盼望,主必给你释放。
Hope, and thy God will surely send relief.
In sweet communion, Lord, with Thee
我住在祢里面;
I constantly abide;
祢手紧握着我右手,
My hand Thou holdest in Thy own
叫我贴近祢旁。
To keep me near Thy side.
Thy counsel through my earthly way
今世引领掌管;
Shall guide me and control,
将来必然进入荣耀,
And then to glory afterward
祢来接我灵魂。
Thou wilt receive my soul.
Whom have I, Lord, in heav’n but Thee,
天上我还有谁;
To Whom my tho’ts aspire?
地上我也别无渴望,
And, having Thee, on earth is nought
因我已拥有祢。
That I can yet desire.
Tho’ flesh and heart should faint and fail,
主是永远活着;
The Lord will ever be
祢是我的能力、福份,
The strength and portion of my heart,
永远是我上帝。
My God eternally.
To live apart from God is death,
亲近上帝真好;
’Tis good His face to seek;
上帝是我的避难所,
My refuge is the living God,
我要诉说赞美。
His praise I long to speak.
即真神的言语,在圣书所记;
is laid for your faith in his excellent Word!
你既然到主前要躲避罪过,
What more can he say than to you he has said,
所盼望的福气实在是稳妥。
to you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
我永护庇你在我翅膀荫下;
for I am your God, and will still give you aid;
总赐你有力量,能站立得住,
I’ll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand,
我全能的膀臂常将你保护。”
upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.
那翻腾的波浪不能把你冲;
the rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
我常常保佑你,叫苦变成甘,
for I will be with you, your troubles to bless,
终叫你成圣洁而永得平安。
and sanctify to you your deepest distress.
我恩典无限量火焰不能侵;
my grace, all sufficient, shall be your supply;
你所受的苦楚是主的美意,
the flame shall not hurt you; I only design
像金银被锻炼使你成利器。
your dross to consume and your gold to refine.
主总不肯让他落仇敌的手;
I will not, I will not desert to his foes;
虽四面有邪魔用计谋来攻,
that soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
主永远不离他到世世无穷。
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake.”
Now blessed be Jehovah God,
以色列的上帝,
The God of Israel,
唯有祂能独行奇事,
Who only doeth wondrous works,
荣耀超越万有;
In glory that excel;
唯有祂能独行奇事,
Who only doeth wondrous works,
荣耀超越万有。
In glory that excel.
And blessed be His glorious Name
直到永永远远;
To all eternity;
祂的荣耀充满遍地,
The whole earth let His glory fill.
阿们,诚心所愿;
Amen: So let it be;
祂的荣耀充满遍地,
The whole earth let His glory fill.
阿们,诚心所愿。
Amen: So let it be.
