Chapter 76

Day after day, O lord of my life, shall I stand before thee face to face.
 
With folded hands, O lord of all worlds, shall I stand before thee face to face.
 
Under thy great sky in solitude¹ and silence, with humble² heart shall I stand before thee face to face.
 
In this laborious³ world of thine, tumultuous with toil⁴ and with struggle, among hurrying crowds shall I stand before thee face to face.
 
And when my work shall be done in this world, O King of kings, alone and speechless shall I stand before thee face to face.
 
过了一天又是一天，呵，我生命的主，我能够和你对面站立吗？呵，全世界的主，我能合掌和你对面站立吗？
 
在广阔的天空下，严静之中，我能够带着虔恭的心，和你对面站立吗？
 
在你的劳碌的世界里，喧腾着劳作和奋斗，在营营扰扰的人群中，我能和你对面站立吗？
 
当我已做完了今生的工作，呵，万王之王，我能够独自悄立在你的面前吗？
