一 我當如何愛我的主？如何奉獻使祂歡喜？
不稍離開祂的道路，學習如何與祂親密。
二 我的途徑若是痛苦，主，我求祢禁我退縮；
使我仍然向祢順服，追憶祢的十架重負。
三 讓我思念祢曾如何離開許多純潔樂事，
來憂，來餓，來倦，來渴，無家之夜，不息之日。
四 為我來憂，來倦，來死，祢來不求自己喜悅；
地上安逸雖難恝置，我豈愛祢不勝這些？
五 是的，我算萬事為損，為要來得祢的注意；
丟棄萬事雖如土糞，為著愛祢有何可惜？
1. How shall I follow Him I serve?
How shall I copy Him I love?
Nor from those blessed footsteps swerve,
Which lead me to His seat above?
2. Lord, should my path through suffering lie,
Forbid that I should e'er repine;
Still let me turn to Calvary,
Nor heed my griefs, remembering Thine.
3. O, let me think how Thou didst leave
Untasted every pure delight,
To fast, to faint, to watch, to grieve,
Through toilsome days, through homeless nights.
4. To faint, to grieve, to die for me!
Thou camest not Thyself to please;
And, dear though earthly comforts be,
Shall I not love Thee more than these?
5. Yes! I would count them all but loss,
To gain the notice of Thine eye.
Flesh shrinks and trembles at the cross,
But Thou canst give the victory.
