Hymn 394 -0

由死而生
Life Out of Death

Hymn 394 -1

1	由死而生—恩主 這乃是說明生命在此， 或是在於來世？不必等候！ 毀壞破碎的器皿， 即今可在陶人手中陶製。

Life out of death - dear Master, is it spoken
Of the life here, or in the better land?
Nay, wherefore wait?
The vessel marred and broken
Shall now be molded by the Potter’s hand.

Hymn 394 -2

2	由死而生—何等奇妙的復活， 種時明感軟弱，起時強壯！ 你的生命顯於勞碌和折磨， 時刻非我，乃是基督我王。

Life out of death – oh, wondrous resurrection!
Seed sown in conscious weakness,
Raised in power.
Thy life lived out in days of toil and friction,
“Not I, but Christ” in me – from hour to hour.

Hymn 394 -3

3	由死而生—客旅道路何孤單， 認識十架者卻都願同行， 效法祂死，他們與祂同苦難， 因祂，就將萬事當作有損。

Life out of death - a pilgrim path and lonely,
Trodden by those who glory in the Cross;
They live in fellowship with Jesus only,
And for His sake count earthly gain but loss.

Hymn 394 -4

4	由死而生—福哉，使命能長遠！ 從天上的清澈純淨江河， 生命豐盛，帶著洋溢的活泉， 告訴渴人，從茲無需再渴。

Life out of death – blest mission to be ever
Bearing the living water, brimming o’er,
With life abundant from the clear, pure river,
Telling that thirsty souls need thirst no more.
