Lord, I Love You主啊我愛您

All three verses open on the same line and part only at the last word — the friend of years, the gladness of the heart, the refuge of a life.

三節起句相同，只在末一詞分開：多年的知己、心中的歡喜、生命的歸依。

E♭調 4/4 · Words and music by David Tsang · 1985

Some of this hymn is still being read from the handwriting. Anything marked 〔?〕 is a character the score has not yet settled, and the lines noted below are not yet transcribed. The family is checking these against the original sheet.

本頁部分歌詞仍在辨讀中。凡標示 〔？〕 者，為手稿上尚未確定的字；下列各行亦未謄錄完成。家人正對照原稿核對。

Opening起句

一　主啊我愛您，你是我多年的知己。
二　主啊我愛您，你是我心中的歡喜。
三　主啊我愛您，你是我生命的歸依。

1 · Lord, I love you; you are the friend I have known for years.
2 · Lord, I love you; you are the gladness in my heart.
3 · Lord, I love you; you are the refuge of my life.

知己 is the friend you never have to explain yourself to. 歸依 is the word for taking refuge — the place a life finally rests.

「知己」是不必解釋也懂得的人；「歸依」是一生最後安頓之處。

Second section次段

一　何等溫柔與〔？〕……
二　自從你在我心裏，生命……
三　與你常常在一起，心中……

1 · How gentle, and how 〔?〕 …
2 · Since you came into my heart, my life …
3 · Always together with you, my heart …

Refrain副歌

啊！我已愛上了您，愛上了您，愛上您！

Ah — I have come to love you, come to love you, love you!

The character after 溫柔與 will not resolve from this scan: it reads somewhere between 翠, 罩 and 罣, none of which follows. The likely intent is 體諒, “understanding,” but the column holds one character, not two. The lines between the second section and the refrain are not yet transcribed.

「溫柔與」之後一字，於此掃描本無法辨定，形近「翠」「罩」「罣」，皆不成文義；疑為「體諒」之意，惟該格僅容一字。次段與副歌之間各句尚未謄錄。
