Hymns詩歌

Is It Worth It?值得嗎

Rev. Dr. David Tsang曾大衛博士牧師

The English on this sheet is his own, typed above the Chinese, and is reproduced here exactly as he wrote it. The first two verses ask whether following Christ costs too much and answer “who said it isn’t worth it.” The third asks the same of the world’s road — and the same refrain answers the opposite way.

這份樂譜上的英文出自他自己手筆,打在中文之上,此處照原樣保留。前兩節問跟隨主是否值得,答「誰說不值得」;第三節問走世界的路,同一句副歌卻答得相反。

G 6/4 · Words and music by David Tsang · 1985

G 6/4 · 曾大衛詞曲 · 一九八五年

One

值得嗎?值得嗎?捨己跟隨耶穌,得著永遠生命。啊!
Is it worth it? Is it worth it, to follow Jesus and receive the eternal life? Oh!

Two

值得嗎?值得嗎?使人作主門徒,得著公義冠冕。啊!
Is it worth it? Is it worth it, to make disciples of the nations and receive the crown of rightsnss? Oh!

Three

值得嗎?值得嗎?走世界的道路,失去永遠生命。啊!
Is it worth it? is it worth it, to walk on the road of the world and lose the eternal life? Oh!

Refrain副歌

一・二 誰說不值得,誰說不值得?
三   真是不值得,真是不值得!
值得嗎?值得嗎?值得嗎?
1 & 2 — Who said that it’s not worth it, who said that it’s not worth it!
3 — It is not worth it. It is not really worth it!
Is it worth it? Is it worth it? Is it worth it?

His English is kept exactly as typed, including “rightsnss” in the second verse, which is his spelling of “righteousness.”

英文照他打字原樣保留,包括第二節的 “rightsnss”——那是他所寫的 “righteousness”。
