世紀頌讚將最好獻主

"世紀頌讚"(Hymns of the Century)是一系列基督教讚美詩的集合,這些讚美詩通常是在過去的幾個世紀中,對基督教會和文化產生深遠影響的經典作品。這些讚美詩通常包含深刻的神學意義、美妙的旋律和易於記憶的歌詞,它們被廣泛地用於各種基督教崇拜和聚會中。

"將最好獻主"("Take My Life and Let It Be")是一首著名的基督教讚美詩,由Henry Francis Lyte在1833年創作,旋律則是由William Henry Monk所譜寫。這首詩歌表達了作者願意將自己的一生完全奉獻給上帝,用來服侍和榮耀祂。以下是這首詩歌的歌詞:

Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days;
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee.

Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only for my King.
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.

Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose.

Take my will, and make it Thine;
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne.

Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure-store.
Take myself, and I am Thine;
Put me to what Thou wilt, rank me with whom Thou wilt.

Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.

這首詩歌是一種深刻的祈禱和承諾,願意將自己的所有——時間、才能、財富、情感和意志——都奉獻給上帝,以便能夠過一種完全服侍和榮耀祂的生活。這種奉獻的精神是許多基督徒追求的生活方式,也是這首詩歌在過去的兩個世紀中一直被傳唱的原因之一。
