Lyrics(歌词)
Like a river glorious,
Is God's perfect peace,
Over all victorious,
In its bright increase;
Perfect,yet it floweth,
Fuller every day;
Perfect,yet it groweth,
Deeper all the day.
Stayed upon Jehovah,
Hearts are fully blest;
Finding , as He promised,
Perfect peace and rest.
Hidden in the hollow,
Of His blessed hand,
Never foe can follow,
Never traitor stand;
Not a surge of worry,
Not a shade of care,
Not a blast of hurry,
Touch the spirit there.
Every joy or trial,
Falleth from above,
Traced upon our dial,
By the Sun of Love:
We may trust Him fully,
All for us to do;
They who trust Him wholly,
Find Him wholly true.
歌词:
主的完全平安,好像光明河,
向着得胜众人,光彩更增多。
主的完全平安,越流越丰富,
主的完全平安,一路添深度。
靠着全能上主,心灵蒙恩眷,
照他从前应许,获得真平安。
伏在主的手中,心灵享安逸,
仇敌不能追击,恶魔难站立,
并无烦恼波涛,并无忧愁影,
并无焦急狂风,来犯我心灵。
任何喜乐艰难,都从天上来,
转移寸分时刻,随主爱安排,
充分靠他施恩,为我行一切,
完全依靠主的,都知主真确。
诗歌背景:
这首诗歌的作者,乃素有“英国神圣诗人”之称的 Frances Havergal 女士。在世生命虽短暂,只活43岁,却是一个完全献身、虔诚爱主的姊妹。
Havergal 女士是一英国圣公会牧师之女,其父乃盲眼圣诗作家。幼年受父熏陶,特别啫好音乐,七岁即能写诗,常在教会杂志上发表。当她十五岁时受坚振礼,灵性大振,满有圣灵所赐喜乐,她说:“我将自己完全奉献给主。从那时起,天地都为之一新,比从前更加光明。”从此以后,开始其生命的服侍,虽然体弱多病,仍讲道、著作、写诗、制谱、牧养不停。
本诗作曲者为一英国浸信会牧师、布道家兼音乐家 James Mountain。1876 年首次载于 Hymns of Consecration and Faith 诗集内,以“完全平安”歌名出现。
