真神之愛

一 真神之愛,偉大無窮,口舌筆墨,難以形容;

高超諸星,深達地獄,長闊高深,世無相同。

始祖犯罪,墮入引誘,神遣愛子拯救;

使我罪人與神和好,赦免一切罪尤。

(副)阿!神之愛,何等豐富!偉大無限無量!

永遠堅定,永遠不變,天使聖徒頌揚。

二 歲月消逝,榮華衰敗,天地廢去,事物更變,

人若拒絕神的大愛,那日惟有求助山巖;

神的大愛,不會改變,何其無法測量;

向人所顯救贖恩典,聖徒天使同唱。

三 天上諸天,當為紙張,地下萬莖,當為筆桿,

世上海洋,當為墨水,全球文人,集合苦幹,

耗盡智力,描寫神愛,海洋墨水會乾,

案卷雖長,如天連天,仍難表達透暢。

The Love of God

1. The love of God is greater far,

Than tongue or pen can ever tell;

It goes beyond the highest star,

And reaches to the lowest hell;

The guilty pair, bowed down with care,

God gave His son to win;

His erring child He reconciled,

And pardoned from his sin.

Refrain

Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!

How measureless and strong!

It shall forevermore endure,

The saints' and angels' song.

2. When Hoary time shall pass away,

And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall;

When men who here refuse to pray,

On rocks and hills and mountains call;

God's love, so sure, shall still endure,

All measureless and strong;

Redeeming grace to Adam's race

The saints' and angels' song.

3. Could we with ink the ocean fill,

And were the skies of parchment made;

Were ev'ry stalk on earth a quill,

And ev'ry man a scribe by trade;

To write the love of God above

Would drain the ocean dry;

Nor could the scroll contain the whole,

Tho' stretched from sky to sky.
