创世以前蒙神拣选，祂既拯救绝不罢休；救恩坚立，稳固、深厚，我们欢乐，永远无忧。
Chosen by God in ages past,
Our God will never let us go;
Salvation is assured fore'er;
'Tis such security we know.

主已赐给永远生命，不至灭亡，一定永定；祂手护卫，谁能夺去？应许坚定，何能变更？
"I give to them eternal life,
They shall not perish," is His word;
"No one shall snatch them from Our hands,"
This is the promise of the Lord.

但神儿女还当警惕，预备主来，须付代价；切勿错失国度赏赐，并且遭受“更重刑罚”。
Yet there's a word for God's own sons,
Which is a warning from the Lord:
For those not ready when He comes,
"Worse punishment" and not "reward."

赏赐非同永远救恩，乃是根据奔跑赛程；全在如何谨慎建造，非凭白恩为其保证。
Reward is not eternal life,
It's based on how we run the race;
It all depends on what we build,
It's not a matter, here, of grace.

为进神国，务要竭力，如同摩西为主忍耐：望断以及于那赏赐，宁与百姓同受苦害。
'Tis for God's kingdom we press on,
Like Moses, we are for the Lord;
We suffer with God's people here
And look away to the reward.

配为基督忍受凌辱，远比世界财物宝贵；舍弃埃及，因信无悔，免受来世管教销毁。
Richer by far, reproach of Christ,
Than Egypt's treasures, which are sin;
By faith we leave Egyptian land,
Avoiding next age discipline.

今世丧失我魂生命，国度时代魂必得救；现今撇弃魂的享乐，那日主人快乐享受。
Our soul gained for the kingdom's age — br>For this we lose our soul life here;
If we lay down our soul life now,
We'll save it for Christ's kingdom there.

甘付代价，绝不退缩，让主基督魂中开扩；注目标竿，奔跑不辍，直至全魂被主得着。
We all must learn to pay the price,
Christ must be worked into our soul;
'Tis thus our soul is gained by Him,
This is our aim and this our goal.
