One thing I of the Lord desire,
For all my path hath miry been,
Be it by water or by fire,
O make me clean, O make me clean.

Refrain

So wash me, Thou, without, within,
Or purge with fire, if that must be,
No matter how, if only sin
Die out in me, die out in me.

If clearer vision Thou impart,
Grateful and glad my soul shall be;
But yet to have a purer heart
Is more to me, is more to me.

Refrain

Yea, only as this heart is clean
May larger vision yet be mine,
For mirrored in its depths are seen
The things divine, the things divine.

Refrain

主啊，我心有一渴望，
因我路途滿佈泥濘，
或是用水或是用火，
噢！潔淨我，使我潔淨。

副歌

因此求主洗我裡外，
有必要時用火煉淨，
不論如何，只要罪惡
從我除滅，徹底除滅。

若主賜我清晰異象，
我靈何等感恩歡樂，
但一純淨清潔的心，
對我更為、更為寶貴。

副歌

是的，只要這心清潔，
我就能見更大異象，
如鏡反照隱藏深處
神聖奧妙，奧妙之事。
