诗歌(新编赞美诗273首)《神未曾应许天色常蓝》
God Hath Not Promised
God hath not promised skies always blue.Flower strewn pathways, all our lives through;
God hath not promised sun without rain,Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.
God hath not promised we shall not know.Toil and temptations, trouble and woe;
He hath not told us we shall not bear.Many a burden, many a care.
God hath not promised smooth roads and wide,Swift, easy travel, needing no guide;
Never a mountain, rocky and steep,Never a river turbid and deep.
But God hath promised strength for the day,Rest for the labour, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,Unfailing kindness, undying love.
神未曾应许:天色常蓝,人生的路途,花香常漫;
神未曾应许:常晴无雨,常乐无痛苦,常安无虞。
神未曾应许:不遇试探、懊恼和忧虑、不幸悲叹;
神未曾应许:不负重担、繁忙的事务、周折困难。
神未曾应许:路常平坦,任意的奔跑,毫无阻拦,
没有深水阻,汪洋一片,没有大山挡,高薄云天。
神却曾应许:生活有力,行路有光亮,作工得息,
试炼得恩助,危难有赖,无限的体谅,不尽的爱。
因为神不曾应许天色长蓝,好花长开,所以在我们日常生活中,疾病、挫折、失意自然难以避免。但我们绝不接受环境的摆布,当然我们也绝不可骄傲自负或者意气 用事,各走极端。须知万事都互相效力,我们只要顺从圣灵的指示,尽自己的本份,神人同工,一切事情必无不成之理,神必让我们得安息。
