世上景色我已一閱

一  世上景色我已一閱，願你使我目復盲；

不然，我怕祂的喜悅，不如從前的顯彰。

（副）世上景色我已一閱，願你使我目復盲；

不然，我怕祂的喜悅，不如從前的顯彰。

二  晨曦、晚霞、星光、雲錦，一切都留等樂園；

今天在此有祂憐憫，我甘盲目無所戀。

三  我今不望離開苦刺，接受軟弱仰望恩；

座上榮耀、幔內啟示，依然照亮無眼人。

四  黑夜沉沉何等美麗，摸索用信不用眼；

祂受人的譏諷厭棄，我見祂的發光臉。

五  超過月亮、超過日頭，超過星河並雲霄，

乃是那戴荊冕聖首所顯無比的榮耀。

HAVING SEEN THE WORLD'S FAIR BEAUTY

1. Having seen the world's fair beauty,

Lord, I would be blind once more,

Lest I lose the loving Presence

And Delight I knew before.

Refrain

Having seen the world's fair beauty,

Lord, I would be blind once more,

Lest I lose the loving Presence

And Delight I knew before.

2. Dawn and sunset, star and moonlight,

I can see in paradise,

But while here on earth His mercy

For my blindness will suffice.

3. I no more would be delivered

From my thorn, but look for grace,

While within the veil His glory

Shineth brightly on my face.

4. In the deep dark night, His beauty

I by faith, not sight, may trace;

He was ridiculed and hated,

Yet I see His glorious face.

5. Sun and moonlight far surpassing

Clouds and Milky Way o'erspread,

Is the glory all transcending

Shining from His thorn-crowned head.
