這首由英國牧師約翰·牛頓作於1779年的 《奇異恩典》,真是值得推薦千百遍。而這段小提琴和鋼琴的合奏版,聽起來也簡直太美太絕配。不妨邊聽它來邊默想這歌詞以及神在我們身上的奇異恩典!
amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
奇異恩典 何等甘甜 我罪以得赦免
i once was lost, but now i'm found ,was blind, but now i see
前我失喪 今被尋回 瞎眼今得看見
'twas grace that taught my heart to fear and grace that fear relieved
如此恩典 使我敬畏使我心得安慰
how precious did that grace appear the hour i first believed
初信之時 即蒙恩惠真是何等寶貴
through many dangers, toils, and snares i have already come
許多危險 試練網羅 我已安然經過
'tis grace has brought me safe thus far and grace will lead me home
靠主恩典 安全不怕 更引導我歸家
how sweet the name of jesus sounds in a believer's ear ,
聞主之名 猶如甘露
it soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds and drives away his fear
慰我疾苦給我安寧
must jesus bear the cross alone and all the world go free
以己一身 救贖世人
no, there's a cross for everyone and there's a cross for me.
舍棄自我 跟隨我主
when we've been here ten thousand years bright shining as the sun,
將來禧年 聖徒歡聚 恩光愛誼千年
we've no less days to sing god's praise than when we first begun
喜樂頌讚 在父座前深望那日快現
