一生奉獻給主的海弗格爾(5)

《海弗格爾的詩歌(2)-誰是在主這邊》

這是海弗格爾法蘭西斯 (Francis Ridley Havergal)所寫關於聖徒屬靈爭戰的一首詩。海弗格爾法蘭西斯實在認識我們在靈裡有屬靈的爭戰。我們雖然身在世界裡,但背後卻有魔鬼的詭計存在。我們不是和血肉之人摔跤,乃是與那些在諸天界裡執政的、掌權的、管轄黑暗世界的屬靈邪惡勢力摔跤(爭戰)。所以我們要穿戴神的全副軍裝,去打這一場屬靈的爭戰(以弗所書六章11-17節)。這場屬靈的爭戰雖然兇猛,但至終神的軍隊必定能夠得勝。因為這已經是命定的了,所以我們要忠心,守住身位,並且勇敢地跟隨主向前。這樣我們才是真正答應主的呼召:誰是在主這邊?誰要跟隨主? 誰要為主活着,走祂的道路? 誰要撇開世界,去為主爭戰?誰是在主這邊,跟隨主向前?我們才能夠真正答說:主啊!藉着你的救贖,並藉着你的恩典, 可愛榮耀的救主,我在你這邊。

《大本詩歌350首-誰是在主這邊》

1)誰是在主這邊?誰要跟隨主?

   誰要為主活着,走祂的道路?

   誰要撇開世界,去為主爭戰?

   誰是在主這邊,跟隨主向前?

(副歌):藉着你的救贖,並藉你恩典,

            可愛榮耀救主,我在你這邊。

2)參加主的軍隊,歡樂去爭戰,

   不是為着榮耀,不是為冠冕;

   乃是因着主愛激勵我向前;

   我既蒙祂恩待,該在祂這邊。

(副歌):藉着你的救贖,並藉你恩典,

            可愛榮耀救主,我在你這邊。

3)你已將我救贖,作你的子民,

   乃是用你寶血,不是用金銀;

   凡來跟隨你者,得福都無限;

   你使我們甘願且自由向前。

(副歌):藉着你的救贖,並藉你恩典,

            可愛榮耀救主,我在你這邊。

4)戰爭雖會兇猛,仇敵也強悍;

   但是主的軍隊,無人能擊散。

   在祂大纛之下,必定能得勝,

   因祂真實,不變,奏凱已確定。

(副歌):藉着你的救贖,並藉你恩典,

            可愛榮耀救主,我在你這邊。

5)蒙主選為兵丁,在今世爭戰,

   我當完全忠心,隨元帥向前;

   如此服事我王,切勿變冷淡,

   守住高貴身位,忠貞又勇敢。

(副歌):藉着你的救贖,並藉你恩典,

            可愛榮耀救主,我在你這邊。

Who is on the Lord’s side   (Francis Ridley Havergal)

Who is on the Lord’s side?
Who will serve the king?
Who will be his helpers,
Other lives to bring?
Who will leaves the world’s side?
Who will face to foe?
Who is on the Lord’s side?
Who for him with go?

By thy grand redemption,
By thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord’s side;
Savior,we are Thine.

Not for weight of glory,
Not for crown and paim,
Enter we the army,
Raise the warrior psalm;
But the love that claimeth
Lives for whom He died;
He whom Jesus nameth
Must be on his side.

Jesus,Thou hast bought us,
Not with gold or gem,
But with Thine own life-blood,
For Thy diadem;
With Thy blessing filling
Each who comes to thee,
Thou hast made us willing,
Thou hast made us free.

Fierce may be the conflict,
Strong may be the foe,
But  the king own army
None can overthrow,
Round His standard ranging
Victory is secure,
For His truth unchanging
Makes the triumph sure.

Chosen to be soldier
In an alien land:
Chosen,called,and faithful,
For our Captain’s band;
In the service royal
Let us not grow cold;
Let us be right loyal,
Noble,true,and bold.
