詞 William Walsham How 1872
曲 Traditional "Herongate"
載 The English Hymnal 譯於 2016復活期

It is a thing most wonderful,
almost too wonderful to be,
that God's own Son should come from heaven,
and die to save a child like me.

奧秘如此不可思議
遠超思量永測不透
上帝獨子竟降凡塵
如我何堪祂捨身救

And yet I know that it is true:
he chose a poor and humble lot,
and wept, and toiled, and mourned, and died,
for love of those who loved him not.

我卻仍知祂真降臨
降生卑微處身苦困
勞頓痛哭捨身灑血
人縱嫌祂祂竟愛人

I cannot tell how he would love
a child so weak and full of sin;
his love must be most wonderful,
if he could die my love to win.

似我全污辜不堪愛
孩子卑微我主竟眷
為叫我肯將祂深愛
其愛憑祂捨身成全

I sometimes think about the cross,
and shut my eyes, and try to see
the cruel nails and crown of thorns
and Jesus crucified for me.

偶爾回想當天苦架
盡心追尋我主足印
鐵釘願找荊冕願尋
如見耶穌釘死為人

But even could I see him die,
I could but see a little part
of that great love, which, like a fire,
is always burning in his heart.

縱見耶穌釘死一剎
似斗般量似管中見
闊深似海祂愛悠悠
熊烈如火祂心內燃

It is most wonderful to know
his love for me so free and sure;
but 'tis more wonderful to see
my love for him so faint and poor.

厚愛如祂我縱明暸
萬古不渝愛深不殆
但見厚恩不禁莫明
而我何竟不將祂愛

And yet I want to love thee, Lord;
O light the flame within my heart,
and I will love thee more and more,
until I see thee as thou art.

盼我全心將主深愛
復興心靈盼主光照
愛主更深應愛莫停
窮盡全生至祢面朝
