Let me love and not be respected; Let me serve and not be rewarded;
Let me labour and not be remembered; Let me suffer and not be regarded.
’Tis the pouring, not the drinking; ’Tis the breaking, not the keeping.
A life suff’ring to seek others’ blessing, A life loving and true comfort giving.
Not expecting pity or concern, Not accepting solace or praise;
Even lonely, e'en forgotten; E'en wordless, even forsaken.
Tears and blood for the righteous crown My price shall be; losing all, My cost for a faithful pilgrim’s life.
’Twas the life, O Lord, that You chose to live In those days You walked on earth,
Gladly suff’ring all injuries and loss so that all might draw near and repose.
I can't see how much farther I shall go; Still I press on, knowing there is no return.
Let me follow Your pattern, so perfect and true, Bearing all gratefully without complaint.
In this time of trial, O my Lord, I pray that You would wipe my hidden tears away;
Let me learn, O Lord, You are my reward; Let me be others’ blessing all my days.

讓我愛而不受感戴，讓我事而不受賞賜；
讓我盡力而不被人記，讓我受苦而不被人睹。
只知傾酒，不知飲酒；只想擘餅，不想留餅。
倒出生命來使人得幸福，捨棄安寧而使人得舒服。
不受體恤，不受眷顧，不受推崇，不受安撫；
寧可淒涼，寧可孤苦，寧可無告，寧可被負。
願意以血淚作為冠冕的代價，願意受虧損來渡旅客的生涯。
因為當你活在這裡時，你也是如此過日子，
欣然忍受一切的損失，好使近你的人得安適。
我今不知前途究有多遠，這條道路一去就不再還原；
所以讓我學習你那樣的完全，時常被人辜負心不生怨。
求你在這慘淡時期之內，擦乾我一切暗中的眼淚；
學習知道你是我的安慰，並求別人喜悅以渡此歲。
