颂诗译选

主啊，用不着我担心

凌风 译

主啊，用不着我担心
我死亡或存活；
爱你服事你是我的本分，
所需的恩典你必赐给我。
如果生命长久，我会欢喜
我就能夠顺服长久；
如果短命，我何须忧愁
将升到无尽的白昼？
基督领我所行的路径
不比祂自己经过的幽暗更深；
所有进入神国的人
必须经过这门。
主啊，来吧，你靠恩典使我得
见到你荣美的面；
如果在地上你的工作是甜的
你的荣耀怎能彰显？
我对那生命所知有限；
信心的眼睛模糊；
但基督知道一切我就满足，
我将要与祂同住。

Lord, It Belongs Not to My Care

Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;
To love and serve Thee is my share,
And this Thy grace must give.
If life be long, I will be glad
That I may long obey;
If short, yet why should I be sad
To soar to endless day?
Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than He went through before;
He that into God's kingdom comes
Must enter by this door.
Come, Lord, when grace hath made me meet
Thy blessed face to see;
For if Thy work on earth be sweet,
What shall Thy glory be?
My knowledge of that life is small;
My eye of faith is dim;
But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with Him.

Richard Baxter（1615-1691）
English preacher, hymn writer, and author.
