THE NAME OF JESUS
耶稣的名
ALL-SEARCHING GOD,
Thou readest the heart,
viewest principles and motives of actions,
seest more defilement in my duties
than I ever saw in any of my sins.
The heavens are not clean in thy sight,
and thou chargest the angels with folly;
I am ready to flee from myself
because of my abominations;
Yet thou dost not abhor me
but hast devised means for my return to thee,
and that,
by thy Son who died to give me life.
鉴查一切的神，你察看人心，
你看透一切行为的原则和动机，
你测透我原本当尽的本分中有更多污秽的东西。
你比我看得更清楚。
在你眼前，天也不洁净，
被定罪的天使显为愚拙；
因着我的可憎，我打算逃离自己，
然而你竟没有厌恶我，反而精心为我预备回归到你身边的道路，
那就是藉着你儿子的死赐我新生命。
Thine honour is secured and displayed
even in my escape from thy threats,
and that,
by means of Jesus
in whom mercy and truth meet together,
and righteousness and peace kiss each other.
In him
the enslaved find redemption,
the guilty pardon,
the unholy renovation;
In him are
everlasting strength for the weak,
unsearchable riches for the needy,
treasures of wisdom and knowledge for the ignorant,
fullness for the empty.
At thy gracious call
I hear, take, come, apply, receive his grace,
not only submit to his mercy
but acquiesce in it,
not only glory in the cross
but in him crucified and slain,
not only joy in forgiveness
but in the one through whom atonement comes.
即使我在你的警告下逃离，你的荣耀仍得稳固和显彰，
藉着耶稣，慈爱和诚实彼此相遇，公义和平安彼此相亲；
在基督里，为奴的得救赎，有罪的被赦免，不洁的被更新；
在基督里，
软弱者得到常存的力量，贫穷者得着测不透的富足，
无知者得着智慧和知识的宝藏，空虚者得着丰富。
靠着你的恩召，
我听见，接过，前来，寻求，领受你的恩典。
不只是俯伏于祂的恩典，而是顺服。
不只是以十字架，还以基督的受难和被杀为夸耀。
不只是因为我的罪得赦免，还因着为我赎罪的那一位而喜乐。
Thy blessings are as secure as they are glorious; Thou hast provided for my safety and my prosperity,
and hast promised that I shall stand firm and grow stronger.
O Lord God,
without the pardon of my sin
I cannot rest satisfied,
without the renovation of my nature by grace
I can never rest easy,
without the hopes of heaven
I can never be at peace.
All this I have in thy Son Jesus;
blessed be his name.
你的祝福既荣耀又有保障；
你已供应我一切的安稳和产业；
你也应许我要坚立并成长茁壮；
哦，主，神啊，
若非我的罪蒙饶恕，我就无法满足安息。
若恩典没有更新我的本性，我就永不得歇。
若没有天堂的盼望，我就没有平安，
但如今，所有这一切，我都在你儿子耶稣里得着，
我要赞美祂的名。
