Hymn 268-0

我心所追求乃是神自己
My Goal Is God Himself

Hymn 268-1

1a	我心所追求乃是神自己， 不是樂與安，也不是福氣； 我能出代價，達到這聖地， 不是我自己，乃是祂恩力。

My goal is God Himself,not joy, nor peace,
Nor even blessing,but Himself, my God;
’Tis His to lead me there,not mine, but His,
At any cost,dear Lord, by any road!

Hymn 268-2

2a	因信而向前，要得神自己， 憑愛而跟隨，永遠不他依； 因祂扶持我，我追隨不已， 直到神答我最深的禱祈。

So faith bounds forward to its goal in God,
And love can trust her Lord to lead her there;
Upheld by Him, my soul is foll’wing hard
Till God hath full fulfilled my deepest prayer.

Hymn 268-3

3	雖然這道路有時很困難， 雖然這代價常是很重大， 但祂最知道我需負何擔， 因到神的路必須是直達。

No matter if the way be sometimes dark,
No matter though the cost be oft times great,
He knoweth how I best shall reach the mark,
The way that leads to Him must need be straight.

Hymn 268-4

4	一事我所知，祂是我所要， 一事我所作，祂是我所望； 在此日復日，神是我榮耀， 在彼榮耀裏，神是我獎賞。

One thing I know, I cannot say Him nay;
One thing I do, I press towards my Lord;
My God my glory here, from day to day,
And in the glory there my Great Reward.
