228 永生神是靈,智慧無限
永生真神是靈,祂智慧無限,
隱藏在光明中,人眼不能見;
極豐富極榮耀, 亙古到如今,
願頌讚祂聖名, 全能得勝君。
永生神不急躁,安靜如光照,
無所求不浪費,萬有掌管好;
祂公義如高山,極威赫莊嚴,
恩惠如雲在天,是愛的泉源。
宇宙大小生命,皆由主而來,
祢使生命存活,是生命主宰;
人生如花草木,生長僅瞬間,
轉眼枯乾朽壞,惟祢永不變。
極榮耀極光明,偉大聖天父,
眾天使皆掩目,圍繞敬拜主;
讚美頌揚歸祢,求助我瞻望,
祢隱藏的榮美,祢聖潔榮光。
228 Immortal Invisioned God Only Wise
Lyrics:
1. Immortal, invisible, God only wise, In light inaccessible hid from our eyes. Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, Almighty, victorious Thy great name we praise.
2. Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, Nor wanting, nor wasting; Thou rulest in might; Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.
3. To all, life Thou givest to both great and small; In all life thou livest the true life of all. We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree. And wither and perish but naught changeth Thee.
4. Great Father of glory, pure Father of light, Thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight; All praise we would render O help us to see Tis only the splendor of light hideth thee!
