主歌

經過烈火的錘鍊
禰必煉我如同精金
葡萄枝經過修剪
必會碩果滿園

受苦是與我有益
為要學習禰的律例
(所)遭遇的是出於禰
我就默然不語

副歌

禰必興旺 我必衰微
接受煉淨為能更像禰
更多的禰 更少自己
成為禰尊貴的器皿

禰必興旺 我必衰微
有這寶貝藏在瓦器裏
更多的禰 更少自己
為要榮耀禰至高聖名

Verse

After gold is placed in fire,
Impure dross is found and removed.
After growers prune a vine,
The more lovely the fruit.

I see trials for my good
As I learn Your will and decrees,
(And) I won't murmur or complain
For You gave them to me.

Chorus

You must increase, I must decrease!
Make me more like You, refined in fire.
Much more of You, much less of me!
Use this vessel for Your honor.

You must increase, I must decrease!
Treasure fills this humble jar of clay.
Much more of You, much less of me!
Let me magnify Your holy name.
