“KINGSFOLD”這英倫老調，海牛甚是喜愛。

在《普天頌讚》裡，《耶穌生平歌》就是配上這調子作旋律。另一首能配這調子的是
I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say，唱起來亦甚感人。

同事鼓勵我以此調做個粵譯，花了一天，做了這個。

《恩主輕聲曾對我講》

Words by Horatius Bonar
Music: “KINGSFOLD” English Traditional
粵譯：海牛

恩主輕聲曾對我講：「到我身邊得安歇
枕首於我懷抱裡躺　放低千憂萬念」
我趨近主前不掩飾　困憂衰竭倦疲
主恩中我尋到歇息　也因主恩歡喜
I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Come unto Me, and rest;
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down Thy head upon My breast.”
I came to Jesus as I was, Weary, and worn, and sad;
I found in Him a resting-place, And He has made me glad.

恩主輕聲曾對我講：「賜你滔滔生命泉
俯身飲飽能以再生　再不口乾欲裂」
我趨近主前暢快飲　賜新生永活泉
口乾得解靈性復甦　我今因祂活著
I heard the voice of Jesus say, “Behold, I freely give
The living water: thirsty one, Stoop down, and drink, and live.”
I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in Him.

恩主輕聲曾對我講：「我乃漆黑中光照
仰望我便能見曙光　你光陰比日耀」
定睛於主臉我見到　我星星我豔陽
盼終一生能永遠走　永生光輝路上
I heard the voice of Jesus say, “I am this dark world’s Light;
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright.”
I looked to Jesus, and I found In Him my Star, my Sun;
And in that Light of life I’ll walk Till trav’lling days are done.

《Lord, Speak to Me, that I May Speak》是Fran­ces R. Ha­ver­gal的詞作，共七節，普天頌讚收編為《宣教歌》（321），調用HOLLEY，到了譚氏主導編修新普頌，便把此歌配了另一調EISENACH，並重新翻譯成《求主使用差遣》（526），只選了其中五節（1, 2, 4, 6 & 7），可惜此新譯詞不但沒有解決歌詞不恊粵音的老問題（實情是劇化了問題），譯詞也嫌偏離原詞意思太多。上主日是公理堂的差傳主日，崇拜選了此新譯版本作回應詩歌，不知道各位堂內兄姊唱來有何感覺。我就按EISENACH的調子，做了另一個譯本如下（七節齊）：

《神啊！發聲啟我正道》

Words by Frances R. Havergal
Music “EISENACH” by Bartholomäus Gesius
粵譯：海牛

參：新普天頌讚526

神啊！發聲啟我正道，
容我活潑宣講呼應；
神愛覓尋孤苦失喪，
催我亦效祢找迷羊。
Lord, speak to me that I may speak
In living echoes of Thy tone;
As Thou has sought, so let me seek
Thine erring children lost and lone.

求父引牽，使我亦能
回頭導引飄泊浪人；
神賜我食，恩賜嗎哪，
促我分享救助飢困。
O lead me, Lord, that I may lead
The wandering and the wavering feet;
O feed me, Lord, that I may feed
Thy hungering ones with manna sweet.

惟願靠主加我力量，
磐石上我屹立穩當，
才可伸張關愛臂胳，
跟那怒潮惡浪相搏。
Oh, strengthen me, that while I stand
Firm on the Rock, and strong in Thee,
I may stretch out a loving hand
To wrestlers with the troubled sea.

神是我師，謹領寶訓，
求能律我教導別人；
我口所宣，添祢恩翅，
飛進入人心隱私處。
O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
The precious things Thou dost impart;
And wing my words, that they may reach
The hidden depths of many a heart.

求讓我得主賜安息，
能力復再，慰問別人，
猶似恩主親說聖言，
適切合時，紓憂解困。
Oh, give Thine own sweet rest to me,
That I may speak with soothing power
A word in season, as from Thee,
To weary ones in needful hour.

求讓祢的豐富完全
盈盈在我心中溢流
如火光輝思想說話，
好宣主愛，顯祢美名。
O fill me with Thy fullness, Lord,
Until my very heart o’erflow
In kindling thought and glowing word,
Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show.

何日、那方，依祢心意，
毋嫌莫棄，請主差使，
直到那日，親見祢臉，
享主安息、快樂光榮。
O use me, Lord, use even me,
Just as Thou wilt, and when, and where,
Until Thy blessed face I see,
Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share.
