主よ 御許に近づかん

 

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer to thee!

E'en though it be a cross

that raiseth me,

still all my song shall be,

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer to thee!

Though like a wanderer,

the sun gone down,

darkness be over me,

my rest a stone.

yet in my dreams I'd be

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer to thee!

There let the way appear,

Steps unto heaven:

All that thou sendest me,

In mercy giv'n

Angels to beckon me

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer to thee!

Then with my waking thoughts 

Bright with Thy praise,

Out of my stony griefs

Bethel I'll raise

So by my woes to be

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer to thee!

Or if on joyful wing,

cleaving the sky

Caught up to meet my king,

swiftly I'll fly

Still all my song shall be

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer to thee!

I acknowledged my sin to you,

    and I did not cover my iniquity;

I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”

    and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah

Psalms 32:5

『わたしは自分の罪をあなたに知らせ、自分の不義を隠さなかった。

わたしは言った、「わたしのとがを主に告白しよう」と。

その時あなたはわたしの犯した罪を許された。』セラ
