G調 · 6/4 · 曾大衛 · 一九八五年

Stanza 1 and refrain第一節及副歌

值得嗎?值得嗎?捨己跟隨耶穌,得著永遠生命啊!
誰說不值得,誰說不值得?
Is it worth it? Is it worth it, to follow Jesus and receive the eternal life? Oh!
Who said that it's not worth it who said that it's not worth it!

Stanza 2 and refrain第二節及副歌

值得嗎?值得嗎?使人作主門徒,得著公義冠冕啊!
誰說不值得,誰說不值得?
Is it worth it? Is it worth it, to make disciples of the nations and receive the crown of rightsnss Oh!
Who said that it's not worth it who said that it's not worth it!

Stanza 3 and refrain第三節及副歌

值得嗎?值得嗎?走世界的道路,失去永遠生命啊!
真是不值得,真是不值得?
Is it worth it? is it worth it, to walk on the road of the world and lose the eternal life? Oh!
It is not worth it. It is not really worth it!

Closing questions結尾

值得嗎?值得嗎?值得嗎?
Is it worth it? Is it worth it? Is it worth it?
About this score and text樂譜與文字說明

The English is David’s own wording from the bilingual staff score, including “rightsnss”; only musical syllable breaks and spacing have been normalized. The Chinese follows the complete numbered-notation sheet. In stanza 2 that sheet reads 使人作主門徒, while the bilingual staff sheet reads 使人信主門徒; the two source readings are preserved, not silently merged. The numbered sheet uses 啊 and ends the third refrain with a question mark; the staff sheet uses 呵 and an exclamation mark. Both scores are available below.

英文採用大衛五線譜上的原有英文,包括「rightsnss」的寫法;只整理配音節的連字號及空格。中文依完整簡譜謄錄:第二節簡譜寫「使人作主門徒」,中英五線譜則寫「使人信主門徒」,兩種原稿寫法均保留說明,未暗中合併。簡譜用「啊」,第三節副歌以問號結束;五線譜用「呵」及驚嘆號。下方保留兩份原譜。

English titles and translated excerpts are provided for readers of this library. The Chinese version preserves the original wording.
