哦，居于永恒的主神，
诸天传扬你的荣耀，
大地宣告你的丰盛，
宇宙只是你的殿；
你的同在充满无限，
出于美意你创造生命，
并且传达你的喜悦；
你把我造成现在的我，
又赐我这一切；
我的生活、动作与存留
都在你里面；
你的护理为我设立疆域，
并以智慧管理我的世界。
我为你在基督里赐下的丰盛感谢你，
也感谢你藉话语启示基督如此明确，
我看见祂的位格、属性、恩典、荣耀、
降卑、受苦、死亡、复活；
就让我深感祂持续救赎的必要，
与雅各一起承认：“我很糟糕”，
与彼得一起呼求：“我将灭亡”，
与税吏同声祈祷：“怜悯我这罪人”。
求你制服我内心对罪的爱恋，
让我认识更新与赦免的需要，
我就能永远享受你和服事你。
我奉胜过一切的耶稣之名来到你面前，
恳求中无一所夸，
既无功劳，也无配得之心，
更无夸口的誓言。
我时常走偏，
时常故意抵挡你的权柄，
时常滥用你的善意；
我的许多罪生发于我的宗教特权，
是我轻视了这些特权，
未将它们用于有益的方面。
但我并非无视你的喜悦，
或是忽略你的荣耀；
求你将你的无所不在
深刻在我心，
你离我的道、我的路、
我的躺卧之处和归宿
很近。
GOD THE SOURCE OF ALL GOOD
O LORD GOD, WHO INHABITEST ETERNITY,
The heavens declare thy glory,
The earth thy riches,
The universe is thy temple;
Thy presence fills immensity,
Yet thou hast of thy pleasure created life,
and communicated happiness;
Thou hast made me what I am,
and given me what I have;
In thee I live and move and have my being;
Thy providence has set the bounds of my habitation,
and wisely administers all my affairs.
I thank thee for thy riches to me in Jesus,
for the unclouded revelation of him in thy Word,
where I behold his Person, character, grace, glory,
humiliation, sufferings, death, and resurrection;
Give me to feel a need of his continual saviourhood,
and cry with Job, ‘I am vile’,
with Peter, ‘I perish’,
with the publican, ‘Be merciful to me, a sinner’.
Subdue in me the love of sin,
Let me know the need of renovation as well as of forgiveness,
in order to serve and enjoy thee for ever.
I come to thee in the all-prevailing name of Jesus,
with nothing of my own to plead,
no works, no worthiness, no promises.
I am often straying,
often knowingly opposing thy authority,
often abusing thy goodness;
Much of my guilt arises from my religious privileges,
my low estimation of them,
my failure to use them to my advantage,
But I am not careless of thy favour or regardless of thy glory;
Impress me deeply with a sense of thine omnipresence,
that thou art about my path, my ways, my lying down, my end.
