Spiritual delight in God arises chiefly from His beauty and perfection—

To go to Heaven, fully to enjoy God—
去天堂，完全享受上帝——

This is better than fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, or children,
这比父母、丈夫、妻子或孩子更好，
or the company of any, or all earthly friends.
比任何或所有世间朋友的陪伴更好。
These are but shadows, the enjoyment of God is the substance!
这些不过是影子，享受上帝才是实质！
These are but scattered beams, God is the sun!
这些不过是散落的光芒，上帝是太阳！
These are but streams, God is the fountain!
这些不过是小溪，上帝才是泉源！
These are but drops, God is the ocean!

for those who have Christ, have all that they need, and need no more!
因为拥有基督的人，拥有他们所需的一切，不再需要其他！

“I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far!”
