萬世之宗，高居寶座榮耀中，

An cient of Days,who sit test throne in glory,

萬方之民眾，叩拜敬而恭；

To Thee all kness are bent,all voice es pray;

有世以來，萬靈一向蒙恩寵，

Thy love has blessed the wide world`s womdrous story,

真理與生命，自古常賜豐。

With light and life since Eden`s dawning day.

聖哉天父，歷代導引眾選民，

O holy Father,who hast led Thy children,

雲柱與火柱，晝夜作南針；

In all the ages with the fire and could;

經過紅海，經過曠野與山林，

Through seas dry shod,through weary wastes bewil d`ring,

我眾行世路，求賜指導恩。

To Thee in rev`rentlove,our hearts are bowed.

聖哉耶穌，萬民救主和平王，

O holy Jesus,Prince of peace and Saviour,

大愛奇妙力，寧息紛爭浪；

To Thee we owe the peace that still prevails;

福音到處，凶頑強暴化馴良，

Stilling the rude wills of men`s wild be haviour,

和平臨世界，賴主恩浩蕩。

And calming passion`s fierce and stormy gales.

聖哉聖靈，賞賜我眾新生命，

O holy Ghost,the Lord and the Life giver,

振我眾精神，感我眾內心；

Thine is the quick`ning power that gives in crease,

浩如河江，流來活力何豐盈，

From Thee have flowed,as from a pleasant river,

多歡欣快樂，多安慰和平。
