三一上主,求破碎我心
for You As yet but knock,breathe,shine,and seek to mend;
为了祢的荣耀,求不住地雕刻、吹气、光照、修复、找寻
That I may rise and stand,o’er throw me,and bend Your force to break,blow,burn and make me new.
不要将我抛弃,使我可以刚强站立,藉着祢的大能将我破碎、滋育、燃烧、塑造,好使我焕然一新。
I , like an usurped* town, to another d ue, *
我,就像一个叛逆的城镇,自甘堕落,臣服魔君,

失丧的我,想要凭借自己的努力,接祢重进我心,却在黑暗的压制下,徒劳地呻吟;
Reason,Your viceroyin me,me should defend,
但,你是监察我的,我无论为自己怎样辩申,
But is captived,and proves weakor untrue,
被罪恶掳掠的我,只能越发显出自己的软弱与虚贫,
Yet dearly I love You,and would be loved fain,gladly
然而,祢仍旧向我显明:“我一直深爱你,爱得主动、乐意,你也当爱我,爱得乐意、甘心。”
*But am betrothed unto Yourenemy.
我却将自己许配了祢的敌人,任祢忧愤如焚。
Divorce me, untie or break thatknotagain;
现在,求祢解开我在魔窟中的锁链,使我脱离死荫;
Take me to You, imprison me, for I ,
挽引我到你那里,将我系缚,与你系联,永不离分,
Except You enthral l me, never shal l be free,
我没有自由,除非成为了祢的仆人,
Norever chaste,except you ravish me.
除非与祢联合,否则我永不能洁贞。
