Global Praise 1 (Rev. ed.) ‎#58

58. Still for thy lovingkindness

1 Still, for thy lovingkindness, Lord,
I in thy temple wait:
I look to find thee in thy Word,
or at thy table meet.

2 Here, in thine own appointed ways,
I wait to learn thy will;
silent I stand before thy face,
and hear thee say, "Be still!"

3 "Be still! and know that I am God,"
'tis all I live to know;
to feel the virtue of thy blood,
and spread its praise below.

4 I wait my vigor to renew,
thine image to retrieve:
the veil of outward things pass through,
and gasp in thee to live.

PINYIN -
1 Koa wo Zhu shanliang yu ciai,
Jingjing dian zhong dengdai,
Qi pan shengyan zhong xunjian ni,
Huo shengzhuo qian xiangyu.

2 Denghou neng mingbai Ni xini,
Ni suo zhishi lujing,
suing, zai Ni mian qian qingting,
Ni mingling wo anjing.

3 "Sujing, sujing, zhi wo shi Shen!"
Zhu ah, wo zhen zhidao,
Ganchue qimiao baoxue gongxiao,
Yongliu zanmei ru tao.

4 Denghou wo lingli za gengxin,
Ni xingxiang zai wo shen,
Rang waizai mengbi dou xiaojin.
Yu Ni jinjin xiang xi.
