颂诗译选

靠赖你的恩典慈怜

凌风 译

靠赖你的恩典慈怜，
持续度过又是一年，
请听我们感恩颂诗，
天父和救赎主，垂听！

前途黑暗求你引导，
恩光和明亮的晨星：
搏斗艰苦仇敌凶猛；
救主，装备我们战爭。

在我们软弱危难时，
坚強磐石你是支助；
在迷茫无路的旷野，
作我们真正的活路。

保守我们忠诚圣洁，
保守属你直到永远；
救助啊，助我能坚忍，
配得那应许的冠冕。

For Thy Mercy and Thy Grace

For Thy mercy and Thy grace,
Constant through another year,
Hear our song of thankfulness,
Father and Redeemer, hear!

Dark the future; let Thy light
Guide us, bright and morning star:
Fierce our foes and hard the fight;
Arm us, Savior, for the war.

In our weakness and distress,
Rock of strength, be Thou our stay;
In the pathless wilderness,
Be our true and living way.

Keep us faithful, keep us pure,
Keep us evermore Thine own;
Help, O help us to endure;
Fit us for the promised crown.

Henry Downton, 1818-1885
