The mercy of God is an ocean divine,
A boundless and fathomless flood.
Launch out in the deep, cut away the shore line,
And be lost in the fullness of God.

Refrain

Launch out, into the deep,
Oh let the shore line go,
Launch out, launch out in the ocean divine,
Out where the full tides flow.

But many, alas! Only stand on the shore,
And gaze on the ocean so wide.
They never have ventured its depths to explore,
Or to launch on the fathomless tide.

Refrain

And others just venture away from the land,
And linger so near to the shore
That the surf and the slime that beat over the strand
Dash over them in floods evermore.

Refrain

****************************************************

上主的慈愛猶如極大海洋，
遼闊淵深無可限量，
開到水深處解纜索離邊岸，
駛入上主豐富恩海中。

副歌

開到水深之處，
呀！快離開邊岸；
開到，開到主慈愛大海洋，
領受主豐富恩。

可惜有多人只站在海岸邊，
浩浩大洋徒自觀看，
終不敢挺著身冒險去探索，
亦不願開到深水中間。

副歌

另有人嘗試只離海岸不遠，
畏懼不前靠近岸邊，
濁浪與污水常常衝激邊岸，
致他們時被污穢沾染。
