我心所追求乃是神自己

一 我心所追求乃是神自己,

不是樂與安,也不是福氣;

我能出代價,達到這聖地,

不是我自己,乃是祂恩力。

二 因信而向前,要得神自己,

憑愛而跟隨,永遠不他依;

因祂扶持我,我追隨不已,

直到神答我最深的禱祈。

三 雖然這道路有時很困難,

雖然這代價常是很重大,

但祂最知道我需負何擔,

因到神的路必須是直達。

四 一事我所知,祂是我所要,

一事我所作,祂是我所望;

在此日復日,神是我榮耀,

在彼榮耀裏,神是我獎賞。

My Goal is God Himself

1. My goal is God Himself, not joy, nor peace,

Nor even blessing, but Himself, my God;

'Tis His to lead me there, not mine, but His,

At any cost, dear Lord, by any road!

2. So faith bounds forward to its goal in God,

And love can trust her Lord to lead her there;

Upheld by Him, my soul is foll'wing hard

Till God hath full fulfilled my deepest prayer.

3. No matter if the way be sometimes dark,

No matter though the cost be oft times great,

He knoweth how I best shall reach the mark,

The way that leads to Him must needs be straight.

4. One thing I know, I cannot say Him nay;

One thing I do, I press towards my Lord;

My God my glory here, from day to day,

And in the glory there my Great Reward.
