Hymn 040 -0

父阿，兒女稱頌你名
Father, Thy Name Our Souls Would Bless

Hymn 040 -1

1	父阿，兒女稱頌你名， 是受恩典的教訓； 我們歡樂，因你生命 已使我們歸羊群

Father Thy name our souls would bless
As children taught by grace
Lift up our hearts in righteousness
And joy before Thy face

Hymn 040 -2

2	你所給的得救證實， 遠超我們的讚美； 我們的心現在直指 你在天上的座位。

Sweet is the confidence Thou giv’st
Though high above our praise
Our hearts resort to where Thou liv’st
In heaven’s unclouded rays

Hymn 040 -3

3	因在那裏，祂為我們 豫備永遠的居所； 你將生命分給罪人， 祂為罪人謀解脫。

There in the purpose of Thy love
Our place is now prepared
As sons with Him who is above
Who all our sorrows shared

Hymn 040 -4

4	永世雖久，不過就是： 顯明你恩的豐富； 好叫那些因你兒子 為兒女者，來稱祝。

Eternal ages shall declare
The riches of Thy grace
To those who with Thy Son shall share
A son’d eternal place

Hymn 040 -5

5	我們現雖未見早晨， 卻仍安心歷世途； 等候祂來提接我們， 脫離死亡和墳墓。

Absent, as yet, we rest in hope
Treading the desert-path
Waiting for Him who takes us up
Beyond the pow’r of death

Hymn 040 -6

6	我們歡樂，因你自己 就是我們的“永分；” 像你兒子，同祂一起， 享受光明的早晨！

We joy in Thee, Thy holy love
Our endless portion is
Like Thine own Son, with Him above
In brightest heavenly bliss

Hymn 040 -7

7	哦，求聖父因祂慈名， 保守我們在這裏； 無憂、無慮，隨祂而行， 直到同樂在那地。

O Holy Father, keep us here
In that blest name of love
Walking before Thee without fear
Till all be joy above
