Hymn: Jesus, Thou Alone Art Worthy

早上起來,不由得唱起這歌:

讚我恩人
Jesus, Thou alone art worthy

Lyrics: Mrs. J. A. Trench (1843-1925)

一 我主耶穌,惟你是配,來得永遠的讚美,
  因你愛心、恩典、慈良,遠超我們所能想。
  JESUS, Thou alone art worthy
  Ceaseless praises to receive;
  For Thy love, and grace, and goodness
  Rise o’er all our thoughts conceive.

副 讚祂!讚祂!讚我恩人!聖徒們哪,當高聲!
  讚祂!讚祂!直到天上,讚得完全讚得長。
  Praise Him! praise Him! praise the Saviour,
  Saints, aloud your voices raise!
  Praise Him! praise Him! till in heaven
  Perfected we’ll sing His praise.

二 我們滿心感激不盡,前來稱頌你尊名;
  一生一世滿被恩澤,到處述說你資格。
  With adoring hearts, we render
  Honour to Thy precious name,
  Overflowing with Thy mercies,
  Far and wide Thy worth proclaim.

三 我們所拜的主耶穌,你是何等的寬恕;
  你的愛心像你能力,永無限量永無已。

四 耶穌,你是首先末後,你要領我到盡頭;
  因著已往我讚美你,為著將來我靠你。

跟詩歌無關……
主日學提到合一這個題目。心裡不知如何是好。有弟兄問弟兄問到靈恩派的問題。自問實在沒有資格講太多話,自己也有很多事情不知就裡、不好講,但心裡實在不想簡單的帶過。弟兄的坦誠分享是好的,但當走的路甚遠。能力,總不可能由自己來。在真道上同歸於一不就是認識神的兒子麼?

Hymn: Hast thou heard Him, seen Him, known Him?

This hymn is known as 《求奪我心》 or something like《你的靈豈非已見過他》, depends on which hymn book you use.

Hast thou heard Him, seen Him, known Him?
Lyrics: Miss Ora Rowan (1834-1879) [MP3]

1
Have thou heard Him, seen Him, known Him?
Is not thine a captured heart?
Chief among ten thousand own Him,
Joyful choose the better part.

2
Idols once they won thee, charmed thee,
Lovely things of time and sense;
Gilded thus does sin disarm thee,
Honeyed lest thou turn thee thence.

3
What has stripped the seeming beauty
From the idols of the earth?
Not a sense of right or duty,
But the sight of peerless worth.

4
Not the crushing of those idols,
With its bitter void and smart;
But the beaming of His beauty,
The unveiling of His heart.

5
Who extinguishes their taper
Till they hail the rising sun?
Who discards the garb of winter
Till the summer has begun?

6
‘Tis the look that melted Peter,
‘Tis the face that Stephen saw,
‘Tis the heart that wept with Mary,
Can alone from idols draw:

7
Draw and win and fill completely,
Till the cup o’erflow the brim;
What have we to do with idols
Who have companied with Him?
