求主使我近十架！在此有一宝泉，医治活水，无代价，流自加略山巅。
Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain,
Free to all-a healing stream,
Flows from Calv'ry's mountain.
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever;
From the cross my ransomed soul
Nothing then shall sever.

前我战兢就十架，得蒙爱怜、宽饶；明亮晨星的光华，在此仍将我照。
Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the Bright and Morning Star
Sheds its beams around me.
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever;
From the cross my ransomed soul
Nothing then shall sever.

哦主，当我近十架，示我以其情景；在你十架荫庇下，天天助我前行。
Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day,
With its shadow o'er me.
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever;
From the cross my ransomed soul
Nothing then shall sever.

就近十架而儆醒，时时信靠、瞻仰，直到被提得上升，永远见主面光。
Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I see my Savior's face,
Leave His presence never.
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever;
From the cross my ransomed soul
Nothing then shall sever.
