Hymn 288-0

你這神的隱藏的愛
Thou Hidden Love Of God

Hymn 288-1

1a	你這神的隱藏的愛， 長闊高深，無人知悉； 遠遠我見你的光采， 我就歎息望得安息；

Thou hidden love of God, whose height,
Whose depth unfathom’d no man knows,
I see from far Thy beauteous light,
In-ly I sigh for Thy repose;

Hymn 288-2

1b	我心痛苦，不能安息， 除非我心安息於你。

My heart is pained, nor can it be
At rest, till it finds rest in Thee.

Hymn 288-3

2a	你的聲音，仍然隱招 我來負你甜美的軛； 我雖幾乎前來應召， 但是懼怕前途阻隔；

Thy secret voice invites me still
The sweetness of Thy yoke to prove;
And fain I would, but though my will
Seems fixed, yet wide my passions rove;

Hymn 288-4

2b	我志雖定，我情卻離， 我欲向你，反而背你。

Yet hindrances strew all the way;
I aim at Thee, yet from Thee stray.

Hymn 288-5

3a	全是恩典！使你吸引 我心向你追求安息； 我雖追求，不能親近， 流蕩的我無所憑依；

Tis mercy all, that Thou hast brought
My mind to seek her peace in Thee;
Yet, while I seek but find Thee not,
No peace my wand'ring soul shall see.

Hymn 288-6

3b	哦，要何時不再流蕩， 所有腳蹤向你而往？

Oh, when shall all my wand'rings end
And all my steps to Thee-ward tend!

Hymn 288-7

4a	日下有無甚麼東西， 與你相爭來分我心？ 呀，我求你把它割棄， 讓你作王無人與競；

Is there a thing beneath the sun
That strives with Thee my heart to share?
Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone,
The Lord of every motion there.

Hymn 288-8

4b	我心纔會不再拘泥， 當它藉你得了安息。

Then shall my heart from earth be free,
When it has found repose in Thee.

Hymn 288-9

5a	哦，我求你埋藏這己， 使主（非我）從我而活！ 惡慾邪情釘死絕跡， 不私留一寶貝罪惡；

Oh, hide this self from me, that I
No more, but Christ in me may live;
My vile affections mortify,
Nor let one darling sin survive.

Hymn 288-10

5b	除你之外，在凡事上， 使我無求，使我無望。

In all things nothing may I see,
Nothing desire or seek but Thee.

Hymn 288-11

6a	哦，主，給我無上之助， 救我脫離無用之慮； 趕出己意離我心府， 離我全人隱密之域；

O Lord, Thy sovereign aid impart,
To save me from low-thoughted care;
Chase this self-will through all my heart
Through all its latent mazes there.

Hymn 288-12

6b	使我作個順命的人， 不斷稱頌，時常感恩。

Make me Thy duteous child, that I
Ceaseless may Abba, Father, cry.

Hymn 288-13

7a	求你使我時刻離地， 謙卑等候聽你吩咐； 求你對我時常題起： “我是你愛、你命、你主。”

Each moment draw from earth away
My heart which lowly waits Thy call;
Speak to my inmost soul and say,
"I am thy love, thy God, thy all."

Hymn 288-14

7b	來聽你聲，來覺你力， 來嘗你愛，是我所期。

To feel Thy power, to hear Thy voice,
To taste Thy love, be all my choice.
