O love, that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give Thee back the life I owe,
That in Thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.O Light, that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to Thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in Thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.O Joy, that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to Thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.O Cross, that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from Thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.
Lyrics: George Matheson (1842-1906)

哦，那不肯放我之爱，
我將疲魂安息於你；
我把所欠余生归来，
好使牠在你这深海，
得更丰满洋溢。哦，那照耀我路之光，
我將残灯带来交你；
我心因得你光復亮，
牠的日子藉你太阳，
得更光明美丽。哦，那苦中寻我之乐，
我心不能向你关闭；
我在雨中彩虹寻得，
知你应许不会空说，
天亮便无泪涕。哦，那使我抬头十架，
我不敢求与你稍离；
今生虚荣死葬土下，
那土长出生命红花，
永远开放不已。
