Jesus Lord my best love Thou art

1. Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art,
Thou hast fully captured my heart;
There is none in heav'n nor on earth like Thee,
With Thy beauty none can compete.
When Thy voice first came to my ear,
Whisp'ring in my heart words most dear,
All past loves and aims lost their charm for me,
All my boasts so vain now appear.

* Throughout all the world, who compares with Thee?
Who so full of worth, who so fair and sweet?
Only Thou art worthy my love to win,
O Lord Jesus, how I love Thee!
No more I who live, no more self-deceived,
No more in the self's world indulged to be,
Deep within I know You're my only love,
My best love is none else but Thee!

2. Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art,
Rid all rocks that hide in my heart;
Gladly I Thy bondslave of love would be,
One heart, one will ever with Thee
Though my heart is oft not subdued,
Still Thy way alone it would choose;
All I yearn for is what Thy heart desires,
In Thy love alone peace I find.

3. Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art,
Ne'er again from Thee I'd depart;
Never hide Thy dear, smiling face from me.
To none else I'd cling, Lord, but Thee.
To Thee, Lord, my all I outpour,
How Thy love my heart deeply fills,
My eternal portion, most precious Lord,
None but Thee I want evermore.

 

惟一最爱是你

主耶穌,你是我至爱,
我全心归你不他依;
天地间有何能与你比擬?
神而人者,你最美丽!
真渴望消失在你里,
当你柔声入我心底;
前我所眷恋,今欢然撇弃,
只愿爱你─全心全意。
  世上有谁像你如此美丽?
人间有何与你爱情能比?
哦,圣中之圣,你竟住我里;
主耶穌,我深深爱你!
不愿再受欺,不愿再任意;
惟愿脱自己,只被你充溢;
你以外,哦,让一切都绝跡;
我惟一的最爱是你。

2

主耶穌,你是我至爱,
虽我曾顽梗又悖逆,
今放下一切,你前来侍立,
只愿像你那样无己。
真渴望活著就是你,
顺从神旨,不凭己意;
与你心合拍,只要你所喜;
挣扎全停,尽是安息。

3

主耶穌,你是我至爱,
你与我永远不分离;
你同在是我气息、我动力,
你的笑脸是我欣喜。
真渴望你前吐心意,
爱你、事你,联结依依;
亲爱主,我的永分就是你,
你的来临是我所期。
