吩咐磐石

一 在曠野加低斯,有神的選民,

因乾渴快要死;

忽聽見聲音:“吩咐磐石,發出活水來!”

不是要擊打,不是要等待;

只要吩附,活水就流開。

(副)神的聖靈已住你心間,

為何到如今不見活水流?

一切的豐盛,等候你發現,

你用信相信,就甚麼都有。

二 主耶穌的聖名,是信心根據,

神永遠的聖靈,已住你深處;

祂今發問:掙扎果為何?

聯合是事實,為何仍乾渴?

約但河上,仍舊有聖鴿。

三 但願心意簡單,完全的相信!

但願心思平安,不再苦苦尋!

如同嬰孩,靜臥主懷間,

向世界斷奶,認識主愛甜,

享祂豐富,順服祂差遣。

Speak to the Rock

1. Fainting in the desert, Israel's thousands stand

At the rock of Kadesh, Hark! the Lord's command,

Speak to the Rock, bid the waters flow;

Strike not its bosom, opened long ago,

Speak to the Rock, 'till the waters flow.

Refrain

Speak to the Rock, bid the waters flow,

Doubt not the Spirit, given long ago;

Take what He waiteth freely to bestow,

Drink 'till its fullness all thy being know.

2. Blessed Rock of Ages, Thou art open still,

Blessed Holy Spirit, all our being fills;

Still Thou dost say, wherefore struggle so?

Call to the Spirit, whisper soft and low.

Speak to the Rock, bid the waters flow.

3. Oh, for trust more simple, fully to believe,

Oh, for hearts more childlike, freely to receive;

E'en as a babe, on its mother's breast,

So on Thy bosom, let my spirit rest,

Filled with Thy life, with Thy blessing blest.
