一 主，接納我們的詩歌，雖然聲音頂柔弱；
我們述說祢的恩篤，因祢是我們救主。
二 因祢捨去榮耀、豐富，祢的信徒纔得福；
祢變貧窮，叫祢信徒 因祢享榮耀、豐富。
三 天堂有何使祢心厭？世界有何使祢羡？
因而祢就離天臨世，孤單、凄惊直到死？
四 祢在天上何等榮耀！祢在世上何蕭條！
祢早已知此行艱難，只因愛我不計算。
五 當我想到祢的良善，就不禁又喜又慚！
喜，因祢能這樣愛好；慚，因我這樣還報。
六 但我們望那日快到，脫盡所有的阻撓；
那時我們進榮耀裹，要照本分服事祢。
七 現今我們等在這裏，因這盼望受策勵；
主，使我們活著為祢，直到天上同聚集。
1. Lord, accept our feeble song!
Pow'r and praise to Thee belong;
We would all Thy grace record,
Holy, gracious, loving Lord!
2. Rich in glory, Thou didst stoop,
Thence is all Thy people's hope;
Thou wast poor, that we might be
Rich in glory, Lord, with Thee.
3. Wherefore Thou high heaven didst spurn?
Wherefore Thou to earth didst turn?
Why leave heav'n to come to earth
Lonely, scorned, e'en suff'ring death?
4. Thou in heav'n - the Glorious One!
Thou on earth, the Outcast Man!
Though this suff'ring Thou didst know,
Love would come to bear our woe.
5. When we think of love like this,
Joy and shame our hearts possess;
Joy, that Thou couldst pity thus;
Shame, for such returns from us.
6. Yet we hope the day to see
When from ev'ry hindrance free,
When to Thee, in glory, brought,
We shall serve Thee as we ought.
7. Now, O Lord, we wait for Thee,
Wait "the blessed hope" to see.
May we ever for Thee live,
Till Thy church Thou dost receive.
