哦 万善之源，
为这恩赐中的恩赐，我当如何回报您？
您所爱的、亲生的、不是被造的儿子，
我的救赎主、代理、中保、代赎，
祂的虚己超越人的理解，
祂无限的爱是人心不能及。
这里有奇妙中的奇妙：
祂降卑，为了把我升高，
像我一样出生，以致我能像祂。
这里有爱；
当我无法触及祂时，
祂带着恩典的双翼靠近我，
把我带到祂那里。
这里有能力；
当神与人无限分离，
祂联合造物主和受造物
成为不可分的整体。
这里有智慧；
当我不愿降服，
不愿回转归向祂，
没有智慧自行恢复，
祂就来，神成了肉身，
救拔我去至高之处，
作为人代替我死，
为我洒下令神满意的血，
为我行出完美的公义。
哦 神哪，
把我的灵带到警醒的牧人那里，
扩张我的心智；
让我听见大喜乐的潮声，
聆听、相信、喜乐、赞美、崇拜，
我的良心沐浴在安息的海，
我的眼仰望与我和好的父；
把我安置在牛、驴、骆驼和山羊中间，
和它们一起瞻仰我救主的脸，
并在祂里面我得从罪中释放；
让我和西缅老人一起
将那位新生婴孩紧扣于心，
以不朽的信心拥抱祂，
欢欣鼓舞因祂属我，我也属祂。
藉着祂，您赐予我如此多，
天堂不过是这样。
THE GIFT OF GIFTS
O SOURCE OF ALL GOOD,
What shall I render to thee for the gift of gifts, thine own dear Son, begotten, not created,
my Redeemer, proxy, surety, substitute,
his self-emptying incomprehensible,
his infinity of love beyond the heart’s grasp.
Herein is wonder of wonders:
he came below to raise me above,
was born like me that I might become like him.
Herein is love;
when I cannot rise to him
he draws near on wings of grace,
to raise me to himself.
Herein is power;
when Deity and humanity were infinitely apart
he united them in indissoluble unity,
the uncreated and the created.
Herein is wisdom;
when I was undone,
with no will to return to him,
and no intellect to devise recovery,
he came, God-incarnate,
to save me to the uttermost,
as man to die my death,
to shed satisfying blood on my behalf,
to work out a perfect righteousness for me.
O God,
take me in spirit to the watchful shepherds,
and enlarge my mind;
let me hear good tidings of great joy,
and hearing, believe, rejoice, praise, adore,
my conscience bathed in an ocean of repose,
my eyes uplifted to a reconciled Father;
place me with ox, ass, camel, goat,
to look with them upon my Redeemer’s face,
and in him account myself delivered from sin;
let me with Simeon clasp the new-born child to my heart,
embrace him with undying faith,
exulting that he is mine and I am his.
In him thou hast given me so much
that heaven can give no more.
