Traditional Irish Melody: Be Thou My Vision 成為我異象

 

Be Thou My Vision

 

 

Be Thou my vision, oh Lord of my heart
Nought be all else to me, save that Thy art
Thou my best thought in the day and the night
Waking or sleeping, Thou presence my light
求我心中王 成為我異象
我別無愛慕 倠主我景仰
充滿我思想 我心向往
睡著或睡醒 慈容是我光

 

Be Thou my wisdom, be Thou my true word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me Lord
Thou my great Father and I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one

成為我智慧 成為我箴言
我願常跟隨 禰在我身邊
禰是我天父 我是禰子
禰常居我心 我與禰合一

Be Thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight
Be Thou my armour and be Thou my might
Thou my soul shelter, and Thy my high tower
Raise Thou me heavenwards, oh power of my power
禰是我盾牌，我征戰寶劍；
是我歡欣，是我尊貴冠冕；
禰是我避難所，我高台；
扶我走天路，我力量源泉。

 

Riches I need not, nor man's empty praise
Thou mine inheritance through all of my days
Thou and Thou only though first in my heart
High king of heaven my treasure Thou art
我不求虛名 也不求富有
禰是我基業 從今到永久
倠禰在我心 永遠居首
天上大君王 禰是我萬有

 

Oh high king of heaven, when battle is done
Grant heaven's joy to me, bright heaven sun
Christ of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, though ruler of all

天上大君王 光明的太陽
容我享天樂 我已打勝仗
我心屬禰心 永無變更
萬有的主宰 成為我異象
萬有的主宰 成為我異象
