一 不是我們隨意走，乃是隨主的引領；
那裏活水方湧流，那裏心中方光明。
二 不是自擇的工作，就能博得祂嘉許；
乃是完成祂委託，纔可領受祂稱譽。
三 不是我們隨自己，就能座前獻禱告；
乃是聖靈的歎息，摸著更深的需要。
四 如果我們答應 “不”，當祂輕說 “我需要；”
就是壇上有禮物，也不能使祂稱好。
五 我們如此向己死，與祂一同活天上；
如此奉獻而服事，祂將自己作恩賞。
1. Not where we elect to go,
But where Jesus leads the way,
There the living waters flow,
There our darkness turns to day.
2. Not our self-appointed task
Will the Lord's approval win,
But the work we did not ask,
Finished humbly, just for Him.
3. Not the prayer we long to plead,
When we bend before the Throne,
But the touching deeper need
Of the Spirit's wordless groan.
4. Not the gift we proudly lay
On His altar will He heed,
If our hearts have said Him, "Nay,''
When He whispered, "I have need.''
5. Thus we die, and dying live
In the heav'nlies with the Lord;
Thus we serve, and pray, and give,
Christ Himself, our great Reward.
