一 我所經過道路，雖然滿佈痛苦，
卻是引我更近天父；
雖非我願選擇，但若行走己路，
我將喪失天樂無窮。
（副）非我願作何事，非我願去何地，
我是何人，竟敢選擇己路！
救主為我揀選，這是好得無比，
去留只願遵主命令。
二 若只為得冠冕，使我去負十架，
十架就失該有價值；
既為主所頒賜，我就背負無懼，
負架原因只為我主。
三 惟我順服神旨，主愛必然充溢，
一路既由祂手引領；
主將我心高舉，遠超所居之世，
順服，立見完全得勝。
1. The path that I have trod,
Has bro't me nearer God,
Tho' oft it led thro' sorrow's gates.
Tho' not the way I'd choose,
In my way I might lose
The joy that yet for me awaits.
Refrain
Not what I wish to be,
Nor where I wish to go,
For who am I that I should choose my way?
The Lord shall choose for me,
'Tis better far, I know,
So let Him bid me go, or stay.
2. The cross that I must bear,
If I a crown would wear,
Is not the cross that I should take;
But, since on me 'tis laid,
I'll take it, unafraid,
And bear it for the Master's sake.
3. Submission to the will
Of Him who guides me still
Is surety of His love revealed:
My soul shall rise above
This world in which I move;
I conquer only where I yield.
