一、父,我知道我的一生,你已替我分好; 所有必须发生变更,我不害怕看到; 我求你赐长久忠诚,存心讨你欢笑。 二、我求要得“有意”的爱,时常儆醒的慧, 常以笑容欢迎事态,擦干不禁眼泪, 心能与它自己合拍,好来同情、安慰。 三、我不要有不安意志,急忙到东到西, 要求要作几件大事,或要明白秘密; 我要被待如同孩子,所往都是受意。 四、无论我在世界何地,是有何种景况, 我与人心有个交契,我要保守发旺, 我要为爱出我微力,为着事奉我王。 五、我求你赐每日恩泽,使我能常受教; 心能从里与外调和,当我与你契交; 满意只占微小旁侧,若你能得荣耀。 六、每条路上都有虚假,是你要我忍耐; 每种境遇都有十架,是你引我倚赖; 但心靠你若是卑下,无论那里可爱。 七、如果在我幸福之中,有何尚未求祈, 我是渴慕我的内衷,向你能满爱意; 宁愿不多为你作工,完全使你欢喜。 八、你爱所定我的选择,不是我的捆绳; 我在暗中受你领帅,已识你的见证: 一生充满舍己的爱,就是自由一生。 附英文: Father, I Know That All My Life "My times are in Thy hand." -- Psalm XXXI.15 Father, I know that all my life Is portioned out for me, And the changes that are sure to come, I do not fear to see; But I ask Thee for a present mind Intent on pleasing Thee. And if some things I do not ask, In my cup of blessing be, I would have my spirit filled the more With grateful love to Thee -- More careful -- not to serve Thee much, But to please Thee perfectly. There are briers besetting every path, That call for patient care; There is a cross in every lot, And an earnest need for prayer; But a lowly heart that leans on Thee Is happy anywhere. In a service which Thy will appoints, There are no bonds for me, For my inmost heart is taught "the truth" That makes Thy children "free;" And a life of self-renouncing love Is a life of liberty. |
