Nearer, My JuNim, to Thee

1

내 주를 가까이 하려 함은

주님의 짐 같은 고생이나

내 일생 소원은 늘 찬송하면서

주께 더 나오기 원합니다

To draw nearer to my JuNim, though it be a struggle like bearing Your cross. My lifelong desire is to always praise You, and to come closer to You.

내 고생하는 것 옛 야곱이

돌베개 베고 잠 같습니다

꿈에도 소원이 늘 찬송하면서

주께 더 나오기 원합니다

My suffering is like ancient Jacob, who slept with a stone for a pillow. Even in dreams, my desire is to always praise You, and to come closer to You.

천성에 오는 길 험하여도

생명 길 되나니 은혜로다

천사 날 부르니 늘 찬송하면서

주께 더 나오기 원합니다

Though the path to heaven is rough, it becomes the way of life, what grace! Angels call me, so I will always praise You, and desire to come closer to You.

야곱이 잠 깨어 일어난 후

돌단을 쌓은 것 본받아서

우리도 잠 깨어 늘 기도하면서

제단을 쌓기를 원합니다

After Jacob awoke from his sleep and rose, he built an altar of stones; following his example, we too will awaken, always praying, and desire to build altars.
