In the Garden在花園裡
I
come to the garden alone
獨步徘徊在花園裡,
While
the dew is still on the roses
玫瑰花尚有晶瑩朝露,
And
the voice I hear falling on my ear
忽有溫柔聲傳入我耳中,
The
son of God discloses
乃是神子主耶穌。
And He walks with me
祂與我同行
And He talks with me
又與我共話
And He tells me I am His own
對我說我單屬於祂
And the joy we share as we tarry there
與主在園中心靈真快樂
None other has ever known
前無人曾經歷過
He
speaks, and the sound of His voice
我主慈聲何等甜蜜
Is
so sweet the birds hush their singing
小雀烏停歌屏息傾聽
And
the melody that He gave to me
主使我聽見 天上美妙音
Within
my heart is ringing
叫我心快樂甦醒。
I'd
stay in the garden with Him
'Tho
the night around me is falling
天色將暗夜幕漸垂
我甚願與主留在園中
But
He bids me go
through
the voice of woe
His
voice to me is calling
但主命我去 懇切呼召我
要我心向祂順從
