一 願祢為大,哦,主耶穌!
信條、話語、虛儀、
屬人的會、屬世的愛,
不能與祢相比。
二 願祢為大,哦,主耶穌!
祢愛征服了我;
靠祢十架,我向己死,
完全為祢而活。
三 願祢為大,哦,主耶穌!
全人被祢充滿;
使我思想像祢思想,
喜歡像祢喜歡。
四 願祢為大,哦,主耶穌!
把我改變全備;
從這幔子(軟弱肉體),
顯出祢的榮美。
五 願祢為大,哦,主耶穌!
我心真是要求:
作祢奴僕,行祢旨意,
一生不再自由。
1. Be Thou supreme, O Jesus Christ,
Nor creed, nor form, nor word;
Nor holy Church, nor human love,
Compare with Thee, my Lord!
2. Be Thou supreme, O Jesus Christ,
Thy love has conquered me;
Beneath Thy Cross I die to self,
And live alone to Thee.
3. Be Thou supreme, O Jesus Christ,
My inmost being fill;
So shall I think as Thou dost think,
And will as Thou dost will.
4. Be Thou supreme, O Jesus Christ,
Thy life transfigure mine;
And through this veil of mortal flesh,
Lord, let Thy splendor shine.
5. Be Thou Supreme, O Jesus Christ,
My soul exults in Thee,
To be Thy slave, to do Thy will,
Is my felicity.
