THOU INCOMPREHENSIBLE BUT PRAYER-HEARING GOD,
Known, but beyond knowledge,
revealed, but unrevealed,
my wants and welfare draw me to thee,
for thou hast never said, ‘Seek ye me in vain’.
To thee I come in my difficulties, necessities, distresses;
possess me with thyself,
with a spirit of grace and supplication,
with a prayerful attitude of mind,
with access into warmth of fellowship,
so that in the ordinary concerns of life
my thoughts and desires may rise to thee,
你这无法测透,但垂听祷告的神,
你被人认识,但超越认识之外,
启示出来,但却无法完全揭示,
我的缺乏和我的福分都把我领到你面前,
因为你从未说过,寻求我的必成为枉然。
我在困难、急迫和苦难中来寻求你,
求你亲自充满我,
赐我恩典和恳求的灵,赐我祷告的心意态度,赐我与你有温暖的相交,
好使我日常生活中的愁烦,我的思虑和渴慕能够升达与你。
and in habitual devotion
I may find a resource that will
soothe my sorrows,
sanctify my successes,
and qualify me in all ways
for dealings with my fellow men.
I bless thee that thou hast made me capable
of knowing thee, the author of all being,
of resembling thee, the perfection of all excellency,
of enjoying thee, the source of all happiness.
O God,
attend me in every part of my arduous and trying pilgrimage;
I need the same counsel, defence, comfort I found at my beginning.
Let my religion be more obvious to my conscience, more perceptible to those around.
求你使我在每日的灵修中,我可以寻找到一处源头,
抚慰我的忧伤,圣化我的成就,让我与我的伙伴相处能合你心意。
我赞美你,因你赐我能力,
使我能认识你,这位万有的创始者;
使我能效法你,一切卓越的完全者,
使我能享受你,一切幸福的源泉。
哦上帝,
在我生命的每一个艰难和试炼中,求你亲自同在,
我需要初信时那样的辅导,辩护与安慰。
愿我的良心可以更清晰地认识我的信仰,
也使我的信仰可以更被身边的人所见证。
While Jesus is representing me in heaven,
may I reflect him on earth,
While he pleads my cause,
may I show forth his praise.
Continue the gentleness of thy goodness towards me,
And whether I wake or sleep,
let thy presence go with me,
thy blessing attend me.
Thou hast led me on and I have found thy promises true,
I have been sorrowful, but thou hast been my help,
fearful, but thou hast delivered me,
despairing, but thou hast lifted me up.
Thy vows are ever upon me,
And I praise thee, O God.
当耶稣在天上为我代求的时候,
愿我也在地上彰显祂,
当祂为我恳求,愿我能赞美祂。
求你继续用你良善的温柔对待我,
无论我是醒着,或是躺卧,
求你与我同在。
你一直带领我,我知道你的应许实在,
我曾忧伤,但你是我的帮助,
我曾胆怯,但你救拔了我,
我曾绝望,但你将我高举,
你的誓言与我同在。
哦神,我要赞美你!
