Sing this night, for a boy is born in Bethlehem Christ our Lord in a lowly manger lies; Bring your gifts, come and worship at his cradle, Hurry to Bethlehem and see the son of Mary! 今夜欢唱,因有一婴孩生在伯利恒 我们的主基督卑微地卧在马槽里; 到祂的跟前敬拜,献上你的礼物, 赶快去伯利恒,朝见马利亚的婴孩!
See his star shining bright In the sky this Christmas Night! Follow me joyfully; Hurry to Bethlehem and see the son of Mary! 看到祂的闪亮明星 在圣诞的夜空里 快乐地跟随我; 赶快去伯利恒,朝见马利亚的婴孩!
Angels bright, come from heaven's highest glory, Bear the news with its message of good cheer Sing rejoice, for a King is come to save us, Hurry to Bethlehem and see the son of Mary! 天使的光芒,来自天上的至高荣耀, 报喜信,传佳音 欢欣歌唱,因有一君王来拯救我们, 赶快去伯利恒,朝见马利亚的婴孩!
See his star shining bright In the sky this Christmas Night! Follow me joyfully; Hurry to Bethlehem and see the son of Mary! 看到祂的闪亮明星,在圣诞的夜空里 快乐地跟随我; 赶快去伯利恒,朝见马利亚的婴孩!
See, he lies in his mother's tender keeping, Jesus Christ in her loving arms asleep. Shepherds poor, come to worship and adore him Offer their humble gifts before the son of Mary! 看,祂躺在慈母的怀中, 耶稣基督安睡在她慈爱的怀中。 贫穷的牧羊人,来敬拜尊崇祂 到马利亚的婴孩跟前,献上他们的卑微礼物!
See his star shining bright In the sky this Christmas Night! Follow me joyfully; Hurry to Bethlehem and see the son of Mary! Let us pay our hommage at the manger, Sing his praise on this joyful Christmas Night; Christ has come, bringing promises of salvation; Hurry to Bethlehem to see the son of Mary! 看到祂的闪亮明星 在圣诞的夜空里 快乐地跟随我; 赶快去伯利恒,朝见马利亚的婴孩! 让我们向那卧在马槽的圣婴致敬, 在这个快乐的圣诞夜里赞美祂; 基督来了,带来救恩的应许; 赶快去伯利恒,朝见马利亚的婴孩!
