神性在此隐藏，我所敬拜的，

Godhead here in hiding, whom I do adore,

被这些裸露的阴影遮盖着，形体，仅此而已，

Masked by these bare shadows, shape and nothing more,

看，主，在祢谦卑服侍下，这里躺着一颗

See, Lord, at thy service low lies here a heart

迷失的心，彻底迷失在对神祢所是的惊奇中。

Lost, all lost in wonder at the God thou art.

看，摸，尝，都认错了祢：

Seeing, touching, tasting are in thee deceived:

怎样表达可靠的听见，那应该被相信的？

How says trusty hearing? that shall be believed;

神的儿子告诉我的，我就认作真理；

What God's Son has told me, take for truth I do;

真理自己如实言说，否则就没有真理。

Truth himself speaks truly or there's nothing true.

在十字架上祢的神性没有向人行神迹，

On the cross thy godhead made no sign to men,

这里祢完全的人性从人类的视野中溜走：

Here thy very manhood steals from human ken:

两者都是我的承认，两者都是我的信条，

Both are my confession, both are my belief,

我祈祷那个临终强盗的祈祷。

And I pray the prayer of the dying thief.

我不像多马，伤口我不能看见，

I am not like Thomas, wounds I cannot see,

却能明明白白地像他一样称祢为主和神；

But can plainly call thee Lord and God as he;

求祢让我每天向更深的信靠近，

Let me to a deeper faith daily nearer move,

每天使我的望更坚定，使我的爱更亲爱。

Daily make me harder hope and dearer love.

啊，祢使我们想起被钉十字架的基督，

O thou our reminder of Christ crucified,

生命的粮，祂为我们的生命而死，

Living Bread, the life of us for whom he died,

那就把这生命借给我吧：喂养款待我的心灵，

Lend this life to me then: feed and feast my mind,

在那里，祢是人所要寻找的甜蜜。

There be thou the sweetness man was meant to find.

让鹈鹕的温柔故事成为现实；

Bring the tender tale true of the Pelican;

洗我，主耶稣，在你的胸膛里流淌的——

Bathe me, Jesu Lord, in what thy bosom ran —

鲜血，只一滴就有能力赢得

Blood whereof a single drop has power to win

全世界对其罪恶世界的宽恕。

All the world forgiveness of its world of sin.

耶稣，我在尸布包裹的尘世间所仰望的，

Jesu, whom I look at shrouded here below,

恳求祢赐给我所渴慕的，

I beseech thee send me what I thirst for so,

有一天，我能在光中面对面凝视你

Some day to gaze on thee face to face in light

我将因你荣耀的目光永蒙祝福。

And be blest forever with thy glory's sight.
