一 基督雖能千趟降生於伯利恆,
若未活你心坎,救恩仍是無成。
各各他的十架,還不會拯救你;
在你裏的十架,纔有能醫治你。
(副)哦!基督的十字架,我接祢進我心;
使我脫自己管轄,完全靠父神生命。
二 人哪!你愛何物,就要像你所慕;
如主,你若愛主,如土,你若愛土。
出己,神就進入,死己,神就活出;
無你,就有基督,無物,就得萬物。
三 你若要認識神, “愛” 是最短路徑;
你若跟從智慧,就難免常迂迴。
你若不為自己尋求甚麼利益,
神的聖潔愛心就要充滿你靈。
1. Though Christ a thousand times
In Bethlehem be born,
If He's not born in thee
Thy soul is still forlorn.
The Cross on Golgotha,
Will never save thy soul;
The Cross in thine own heart,
Alone can make thee whole.
Refrain
O, Cross of Christ, I take thee
Into this heart of mine,
To help me die to my own self,
And rise to Thy life Divine.
2. Whate'er thou lovest, man,
That too become thou must;
God, if thou lovest God,
Dust, if thou lovest dust,
Go out, God will come in;
Die thou and let Him live,
Be not and He will be;
Wait and He'll all things give.
3. To bring thee to thy God,
Love takes the shortest route;
The way which knowledge leads,
Is but a roundabout.
Drive out from thee the world,
And then thy heart shall be
Filled with the love of God,
And holy like as He.
