你的信實廣大 Great Is Thy Faithfulness

詩集：生命聖詩，18

1. 你的信實廣大，我神我天父，

在你永遠沒有轉動影兒；

永不改變，父神每天施憐憫，

無始無終上主，施恩不盡。

2. 春夏秋冬四季，有栽種收成，

日月星辰時刻運轉不停；

宇宙萬物都見證造物主宰，

述說天父豐盛，信實，慈愛。

3. 你赦免我罪過，賜永遠安寧，

你常與我同在，安慰引領；

求賜今天力量，明天的盼望，

從天降下恩典，福樂無窮。

清晨復清晨，更經歷新恩；

我所需用你恩手豐富預備，

你的信實廣大，顯在我身。

1. “Great is Thy faithfulness,” O God my Father, There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.

2. Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon and stars in their courses above, Join with all nature in manifold witness To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

3. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide; Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Chorus:

“Great is Thy faithfulness!” “Great is Thy faithfulness!“ Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided— “Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me!

我心靈得安寧 It Is Well With My Soul

有時悲傷來似浪滾

不論何環境主已教導我說

號角將吹響我救主臨空中

願主來我心靈得安寧

1. When peace like a river attendeth my way And sorrow like sea billows roll Whatever my lot Thou had taught me to say: “It is well, it is well with my soul.”

2. My sin, O, the bliss of this glorious thought My sin, not in part but the whole Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul

3. And Lord haste the day when my faith shall be sight The clouds be rolled back as a scroll The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend “Even so”, it is well with my soul

初信之時即蒙恩惠，真是何等寶貴。

3. 經過許多危險網羅，飽受人間苦楚，

此恩領我平安渡過，他日歸回天府。

4. 將來在天安居萬年，恩光如日普照，

好像最初蒙恩景況，讚美永不減少。

1. Amazing grace! how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch; like me! I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see.

2. ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed!

3. The Lord hath promised good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures.

4. When we’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise Than when we first begun.

7

時刻仰望主，儆醒等待，

滿得主恩惠，浸於主愛。

讚美我救主，晝夜唱和。

1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine; Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

2. Perfect submission, perfect delight, Visions of rapture now burst on my sight; Angels descending, bring from above, Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

3. Perfect submission, all is at rest, I in my Saviour am happy and blest; Watching and waiting, looking above, Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

Chorus:

This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Saviour all the day long. This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Saviour all the day long.

高雲漢牧師簡史

高雲漢牧師一生經歷上帝真實的慈愛和帶領，雖然

身體軟弱，卻從不倦怠。他蒙主使用，成就聖工，

愈發興旺；幾十年來努力傳揚福音，胸懷普世，培

育信徒和神國工人。高牧師豐盛的人生，正印證耶

穌基督的應許：「我來了，要叫人得生命，並且得

的更豐盛！」

高雲漢牧師原籍中國江西，1934年生於浙江，

少年時經歷戰亂，逃難到香港時認識耶穌基督，並

獻身傳道，入讀香港神學院，為第一屆畢業生。其

後在香港和北美的大學和神學院繼續深造，獲神學

學士、理學學士、宗教教育碩士、道學碩士，並榮

獲美國芝加哥三一國際大學教牧學博士學位和加拿

大天道神學院道學榮譽博士學位。

9

1963年，高牧師蒙神呼召，被中華傳道會差派

回香港擔任神學教育的服侍。1969至1974年間，

受差遣前往北美，在美國、加拿大各地教會及差傳

大會中巡迴證道，為宣教工作籌募經費。

1974年底，高牧師與高師母再受香港中華傳

道會差遣，在加拿大多倫多華人社區中開荒植堂。

高牧師夫婦聯同七個家庭，於1975年1月創建多倫

多華人基督教會。蒙神恩典，高牧師憑信心釐訂華

基教會五個異象與使命：「相愛合一、培訓門徒、

增長植堂、普世差傳、社區關懷」，成為日後華基

教會發展的重點與精神所在。高牧師先後帶領華基

教會在大多倫多地區佈道植堂，又組成華人基督傳

道聯會。高牧師致力傳揚福音，領人歸主，植堂建

堂；培訓平信徒領袖，裝備牧者；又身體力行，帶

領短宣隊前赴偏遠地區，積極推動短宣長宣。現有

十二間華基教會建築了六所實用的禮拜堂，每週崇

拜會眾八千多人。

高雲漢牧師是忠誠的神僕，神重用的華人教

會領袖，一生委身事奉，高舉基督，以「施比受更

為有福」為座右銘。高牧師關愛傳道牧者，鼓勵華

人教會除去「一盤散沙」的本性，熱心推動華人教

會和福音機構彼此配搭，為多倫多華人教牧同工團

契建立美好根基；他又積極參與海內外許多事工團

隊，造福全球教會，倍受不同群體尊敬。高牧師因

腎臟功能衰退，1996年8月開始洗腎，1999年換腎

成功，2001年毅然回應上主呼召，接受任命為世界

華福中心總幹事，五年內到處奔走，促進各地華人

教會相愛合作，興旺福音；任內第七屆華福大會首

設英語會議，激勵講英語的華裔新一代投入普世宣

教，帶動華福運動邁進新世紀，新轉型。

2007年新腎功能衰竭，要再次洗腎，他仍然

靠耶穌基督有堅毅的信心，將生命獻上，在多倫多

教牧同工協力幫助下，建立加拿大華人神學教育協

會，推動本地華人神學教育，為協會董事會榮譽主

席。他盼望以軟弱的身體作見證，鼓勵更多同工加

入，栽培下一代的神國工人。

高牧師愛護妻子，顧念親人，是恩威並重的好

父親和慈祥的祖父，上帝榮耀的見證人。他多年來

與疾病爭戰，洗腎換腎。去年因肺炎入院後健康每

況愈下，他仍勇敢對抗病患，接受不同治療上的挑

戰，延至主曆2013年3月24日下午，在愛妻高方月

華師母、兒子仰山、仰之和家人陪同下，於加拿大

多倫多Mackenzie Health醫院安息主懷，享主厚恩

79歲。留下無限思念，典範常存。

Eulogy of Rev. Dr. John Kao

Rev. John Kao’s life journey was a witness of God’s

everlasting love and guidance. Despite suffering poor

health for most of his adult life, Rev. Kao fervently

served his Master by preaching the Word and training

workers for the gospel. Both his spiritual life and his

ministry flourished, bearing wonderful witness to the

promise Jesus made to His disciples, that He has “…

come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

(John 10:10)

Rev. Kao was born in Zhejiang, China in 1934 but escaped to Hong Kong as a war refugee during his youth. It was there that he came to know Jesus as his Saviour and responded to His call to full-time Christian service. He was trained at the Bible Seminary of Hong Kong and was a member of its first graduating class. Rev. Kao also received additional training in North America, earning the following degrees: Bachelor of Science (University of Toronto), Master of Divinity (Central Baptist Theological Seminary), Master of Religious Education (Biblical Seminary), and Doctor of Ministry (Trinity International University). As well, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from Tyndale University College and Seminary in Toronto for his exemplary Christian service.

11

In 1963 Rev. Kao was sent by Partners International (PI) to return to his alma mater, the Bible Seminary of Hong Kong, to be Lecturer and Dean of Studies. From 1969 to 1974, he did deputational work throughout North America, raising funds on behalf of national workers in their respective mission fields.

In the winter of 1974, Rev. and Mrs. Kao were commissioned by PI to plant churches amongst the Chinese in Toronto. With six other families the Kaos started the Toronto Chinese Community Church with a five-prong vision: Unity and Love, Discipleship Training, Church Planting, World Missions, and Social Concern. In time this five-prong vision would define the character and culture of this fledging ministry. Thirty-eight years and six building projects later, twelve churches with total Sunday attendance exceeding 8,000 are now part of the Association of Chinese Evangelical Ministries (ACEM) family.

Rev. Kao was a faithful servant-leader, always serving tirelessly and joyfully, living out the motto that it is more blessed to give than to receive. He was always considerate of the needs of fellow co-labourers in Christ. He promoted collaboration among pastors and churches and had won the respect of all. In spite of ongoing kidney dialysis since 1996, Rev. Kao remained faithful in serving the Lord. In September, 1999, Rev. Kao received a gift from a sister in his congregation and underwent a kidney transplant operation. With his health restored, Rev. Kao accepted the nomination in 2001 to become the General Secretary of the Chinese Coordination Centre of World Evangelism (CCCOWE). During the five-year term, Rev. Kao visited more than 16 countries and 40 cities, promoting inter-church cooperation and world missions. Under his leadership, the worldwide Chinese Church convened at the 7th Chinese

Congress on World Evangelization in Macau, with more than 2600 delegates coming from all parts of the world. For the first time in CCCOWE history, a concurrent conference was held to encourage English-speaking leaders of the Chinese Church to join the CCCOWE movement.

By 2007, his kidney troubles began to resurface. Despite failing health, Rev. Kao continued to persevere in His service. He collaborated with other leaders in promoting theological education, and he served as Chairman of the Executive Board, Association of Canadian Chinese Theological Education, and Principal Emeritus of Canadian Chinese School of Theology at Tyndale Seminary. It was his prayer that his example would inspire others to a life of service.

Rev. Kao was a loving husband to Esther, a devoted father to Fred and Ernest, a caring grandfather to his seven grandchildren, and a wonderful witness of God’s glory. For many years Rev. Kao had suffered poor health. Before and after undergoing kidney transplant he had received frequent dialysis and blood transfusion. His health began to deteriorate after his hospitalization last year due to pneumonia. He fought his ailing condition courageously and accepted different treatments before finally succumbing to degenerating health condition at Mackenzie Health, with Esther, sons Fred, Ernest and family by his side. While we mourn his passing, we give thanks for his witness in faith and take comfort in the knowledge that he is with our Saviour.

經文

我們既有這許多的見證人，如同雲彩圍著我們，就當放下

各樣的重擔，脫去容易纏累我們的罪，存心忍耐，奔那擺

在我們前頭的路程，仰望為我們信心創始成終的耶穌他因

那擺在前面的喜樂，就輕看羞辱，忍受了十字架的苦難，

便坐在神寶座的右邊。那忍受罪人這樣頂撞的，你們要思

想，免得疲倦灰心。你們與罪惡相爭，還沒有抵擋到流血

的地步。（來12:1-4）

我凡事給你們作榜樣，叫你們知道應當這樣勞苦，扶助軟

弱的人，又當記念主耶穌的話，說：施比受更為有福。

（徒20:35）

他對我說：我的恩典夠你用的，因為我的能力是在人的軟

弱上顯得完全。所以，我更喜歡誇自己的軟弱，好叫基

督的能力覆庇我。我為基督的緣故，就以軟弱、凌辱、急

難、逼迫、困苦為可喜樂的；因我什麼時候軟弱，什麼時

候就剛強了。(林後12:9-10)

我聽見有大聲音從寶座出來說：看哪，神的帳幕在人間。

他要與人同住，他們要作他的子民。神要親自與他們同

在，作他們的神。神要擦去他們一切的眼淚；不再有死

亡，也不再有悲哀、哭號、疼痛，因為以前的事都過去

了。坐寶座的說：看哪，我將一切都更新了！又說：你要

寫上；因這些話是可信的，是真實的。他又對我說：都成

了！我是阿拉法，我是俄梅戛；我是初，我是終。我要將

生命泉的水白白賜給那口渴的人喝。得勝的，必承受這些

為業：我要作他的神，他要作我的兒子。（啟21:3-7）

Scripture

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. (Heb 12:1-4)

In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: `It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ (Acts 20:35)

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Cor 12:9-10)

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” He said to me, “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. (Rev 21:3-7)
