救主十架是我誇耀

一 救主十架永遠是我誇耀原因,

雖然有時屈身喘息力不能勝;

但是長久旅居經歷已足証明,

惟有十架能醫一切心靈傷痕。

麻雀在彼找到安息之所,

燕子在彼找到抱雛之窩;

經過十架我已達到通天之門,

在此我心充滿安息、感激聲音。

二 救主十架永遠是我誇耀原因,

雖然有時心肉衰殘,淚眼不明;

但祢是我心中力量,心中生命,

流淚谷中活泉湧流慰我衷心。

哦,主,我的在世旅居寒暑,

在此充滿何等甘甜滿足;

依靠十架乃是無窮喜樂原因,

在此我心歡樂反覆稱頌主名。

三 救主十架永遠是我誇耀原因,

雖然有時旅足紅熱,疼痛難行;

在此我聞聖靈溫柔指引聲音,

惟有十架乃是炎熱沙地涼亭。

祢的清涼活泉在此流奔,

飲我枯萎心田,甦我疲魂;

就近十架我常獲得能力充盈,

在此我心浸於甘源,讚美不停!

四 救主十架永遠是我誇耀原因,

雖然有時心頹力竭,難免呻吟;

倦眼忽見榮光一閃來自天庭,

十架今正帶我進入榮耀之境。

我要低頭吻祢痛苦腳印,

每一腳印都成通天途徑;

堅持十架神的榮耀終滿我心,

在此我要歡呼,我已跑完全程。

The Cross of Christ

1. The cross of Christ shall ever be my boast and pride,

Tho' there be times the heavy weight seems hard to bear,

But long has since this pilgrim journey testified:

Only the cross can heal the wound of deep despair,

Sparrows can find a place of quiet rest;

Swallows can build for their young ones a nest.

Now by the cross I have come thro' this heav'nly gate.

Therefore my heart is filled with peace and songs of praise.

2. The cross of Christ shall ever be my boast and pride,

Tho' there be times tears from within may dim my eyes,

But in this vale, a spring shall flow to calm my sighs;

For Thou art mine, my strength, my heart, my very life.

Yes, Lord, through these summer and winter times,

Oh what contentment filled with mirth is mine.

Trusting the cross shall be my cause for endless joy;

Therefore my heart shall bless Thy name with cheerful voice!

3. The cross of Christ shall ever be my boast and pride,

Tho' there be times my feet be burned from painful strides,

But here I hear Thy tender voice so sweetly guides;

Only the cross gives shelter in this desert land.

How fresh and clear Thy spring with ease has flown.

Drink to the full, O dry and weary soul!

Drawn to the cross my strength can be revived once more;

Therefore my heart shall flood with praises evermore!

4. The cross of Christ shall ever be my boast and pride,

Tho' there be times my heart's so burdened with complaints.

Suddenly then, Thy glory 'fore my eyes appears;

The cross now brings me to behold Thee face to face.

And there I kiss the imprint of Thy feet;

Thy every step has paved a path for me.

O blessed cross, Thy glory has now filled my heart;

Therefore I sing for I have won the crown of Life!
