詩歌488首歌詞：
一
何必担心一握不释？且让先知先果腹；
若是神管你的度支，你的来源何患枯？
每天都有新的需要，每天必有新供给；
你既然是他所创造，他岂不为你设计？
（副）
仍然当爱，仍然当给，照旧你还余一握；
所有的爱，所有的给，要使神赐加倍多。
二
相信！时候不至耽搁，虽是不快，总不慢；
相信！瓶子不至干涸，永远不空，也不满。
纵使百合缺了衣衫，纵使小鸟无食啄，
但是寡妇微小面坛，必定依然有一握。
三
何必预料明天境遇，目前够了就可乐；
何必先借明天忧虑，手里岂非还有着！
爱是生活，给反存留，种得多的收也多；
好像你已罄你所有，看哪！你还有一握！
(Poem 488 Lyrics:
one
Why worry about holding on to it? and let the Prophet eat first;
If God is in charge of your support, why should your source be withered?
Every day there is a new need, and every day there must be a new supply;
Since you were created by him, wouldn't he design it for you?
(vice)
Still love, still give, still you have a grip left;
All love, all giving, is to be multiplied by God.
two
Believe! The time will not be delayed, although it is not fast, it is not slow;
Believe! The bottle never runs dry, never empty, nor full.
Even if the lily is short of clothes, even if the bird has no food to peck,
But the widow's small altar must still have a hold.
three
Why do you have to predict tomorrow's situation, when enough is enough, you can coke;
Why bother worrying about tomorrow, don't you still have it!
Love is life, keep it for the anti, the more you sow, the more you reap;
As if you've run out of everything, behold! You still have a grip!)
在財務的奉獻上，聖經有一個例子，就是寡婦的兩個小錢，當時主稱讚她，因她乃是擺上了她養生的；財主也奉獻，他所奉獻的是他所餘的，可以說是不痛不養的，但是那個寡婦，他所有的就是那兩個小錢，她將它們奉獻給主，給了，就沒了，那她的生計要怎麼辦？她沒有在那裡計算，這是我生活要用的，所以不能奉獻，她乃是將她所有的都奉獻了，因此主稱讚她。
(There is an example in the Bible on financial donations, which is the widow’s two small coins. At that time, the Lord praised her, because she put her life on the table. The rich man also donated. It's hard to support, but that widow, all he has is the two small coins, she gave them to the Lord, and if she gave it, it was gone, so what would she do with her livelihood? She didn't calculate it there. This is what I use in my life, so I can't give it. She gave everything she had, so the Lord praised her.)
在舊約裡也有個例子，以利亞遇到一個寡婦，請她給他做一點餅來給他，但寡婦家裡只有一點麵和一點油，吃完了就準備要死了，但以利亞告訴她，別擔心，只管做來給他，寡婦就照做了，耶和華神如同以利亞所說的，使寡婦的麵和油都不缺，他們因此就過了許多日子，這是一件神蹟，神祝福了那位寡婦，因她先將她有的供給申言者以利亞；在詩歌本488首也就是運用這一段故事所寫成的詩歌。
(There is also an example in the Old Testament, Elijah met a widow and asked her to make him some bread to give him, but the widow had only a little flour and a little oil at home, and she was ready to die after eating, but Elijah told her , don't worry, just make it for him, and the widow did it, and the LORD God, as Elijah said, made the widow not lack of flour and oil, and they lived many days because of it, this is a miracle , God blessed the widow, because she first gave what she had to Elijah the prophet; the 488th song in the hymnbook is also a hymn written using this story.)
目前我是負債的情況，常常會想到要奉獻嗎？這樣的問題，自己都過不去了，怎麼有多餘的錢來奉獻呢？這裡我感覺到我們的”信”很重要，就像那位寡婦，她信以利亞所說的，就給出她所僅有的，那我呢？我信神所說的嗎？神要多多的祝福他的兒女，並且他應許他必照顧他們的生活，想到這裡，我就覺得自己是小信的人，只看自己是瘸腿的，沒有看到主的筵席是豐富的；在缺乏上仍持守財務的奉獻，才是真正的”信”，信神是，環境不是，我們不是，願主加強我，忠信的奉獻。
(I am currently in debt, do I often think about giving? Such a problem, I can't get over it myself, how can I have extra money to donate? Here I feel that our "faith" is important, like the widow, she believed what Elijah said and gave what she had, what about me? Do I believe what God says? God wants to bless His children a lot, and He promises that He will take care of their lives. Thinking of this, I feel that I am a person of little faith, who only sees myself as lame, and does not see that the Lord's feast is rich; Continuing financial dedication in the face of scarcity is the real "faith". Believing in God is, the environment is not, and we are not. May the Lord strengthen me, faithful dedication.)
