詩歌#918:【主耶穌,主耶穌 (Dearest Lord, Dearest Lord)】

主耶穌,主耶穌 (倪柝聲)









一、
主耶穌,主耶穌!為何你不來?主耶穌,主耶穌!為何你不來?
受造物都納悶,天地與深海,有它們與我們,同望你回來;
現宇宙年漸老,一切在等待,我們正同禱告,求你快回來。
求你快回來。求你快回來。
Dearest Lord, dearest Lord, why do You delay?
Dearest Lord, dearest Lord, why do You delay?
Hear creation’s endless sigh, Earth and seas alike?
Restless, we join their plight, may that day draw nigh.
All things slowly show decline, while Your presence yearn,
One with them, we do pray, Hasten Your return! (x3)

二、
主耶穌,主耶穌!為何不回來?為何故你耽誤,至今不回來?
看他們是已經等候多少代,看你也是已經等候多少載,
你為何不縮短久望的日子?因我們的呼喊,就來不再遲?
就來不再遲?就來不再遲?
Dearest Lord, dearest Lord, why do You delay?
Why do you still delay, yet another day?
Eons, eons, still they wait, same perpetual state.
Year to year, still I wait, why are You so late?
Why won’t You quickly come, listen to our cry?
Show Your Face, dawn Your light,
Halt this endless night! (x3)

三、
主耶穌,主耶穌!為何不回來?自從你去天府,我心無可愛,
我的天就好像不會再破曉,我的面就好像不能再歡笑;
人所有的雄心,我都失興采,主耶穌,主耶穌!為何不回來?
為何不回來?為何不回來?
Dearest Lord, dearest Lord, why do You delay?
I’m alone and dismayed, since You went away.
Nights are long, nights are dark, will I see day break?
Oh my heart, oh my soul, how much can you take?
All of man’s earthly hopes, seem so dim to me,
Dearest Lord, dearest Lord,
Come for me I plea! (x3)

四、
求你來,求你來!四圍所看見,是退後,是懈怠,逐一在改變:
愛心是漸冷淡,受苦漸計萛,信心漸發吁歎,舉步漸遲緩,
盼望如燈漸滅,像要不等待,主耶穌!看這些,為何不回來?
為何不回來?為何不回來?
Quickly come, quickly come. All things visible:
They regress, they decay, swept into a lull.
Our first love, now grows cold, footsteps quickly slow,
Once sweet wine, tastes so old, stunts once vibrant growth.
Light of hope, slowly dims, yearning even slacks.
Dearest Lord, seeing this,
Why won’t You come back? (x3)

五、
主耶穌,主耶穌!為何你不來,主耶穌,主耶穌!為何你不來?
你是要我等候到何日?何年?我禱告,我看守,已難再遲延;
主耶穌,主耶穌!我求你快來,主耶穌,主耶穌!我求你快來!
我求你快來!我求你快來!
Dearest Lord, dearest Lord, why do You delay? (x2)
Just how long must I wait? ‘Til what day what year?
I still watch, I still pray, yet I cannot cheer.
Dearest Lord, dearest Lord,
Come and wipe our tears,
Dearest Lord, dearest Lord,
Quickly Lord, draw near! (x3)
