颂歌:我以艾米·格兰特的混合曲medley by Amy Grant结束这降临节音乐之旅。第一首歌是节奏轻快的《Emmanuel以马内利》,然后是新演译的《O Little Town of Bethlehem小伯利恒》,最后是歌词激励人心的《Christmas Hymn圣诞赞美诗》。在庆祝救主降生之际,让欢欣的音乐唤起我们的心。以下是这首混合歌的英文歌词及其中文意译:
Emmanuel (以马内利) Emmanuel, Emmanuel Wonderful counselor Lord of life, Lord of all He’s the Prince of Peace Mighty God, holy one Emmanuel, Emmanuel 以马内利,以马内利 奇妙策士 生命的主,万有的主 祂是和平之君 全能的神,至圣者 以马内利,以马内利。
O Little Town of Bethlehem (小伯利恒) O Little Town of Bethlehem How still we see thee lie Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting light The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight 美哉圣城,小伯利恒,你是何等宁静 更深夜静,沈睡无梦,群星悄然运行 但在你黑暗街道,显耀永恒之光 万世期望,战兢等待,今宵汇集此方
How silently, how silently The wondrous gift is given So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell O come to us, abide with us Our Lord Immanuel 何等安宁,何等恬静,真神赐奇妙恩 神将各样属天恩惠,注入千万人心 我听圣诞之天使宣告大喜佳音 恳求以马内利我王,永远居住我心
No ear may hear His coming But in this world of sin Where meek souls will receive Him still The dear Christ enter in. 因世界充满罪恶,主降无人听闻 谁肯谦卑打开心门,主必进入其心。
Christmas Hymn (圣诞赞美诗) Praise to God whose love was shown Who sent His Son to earth Jesus left His rightful throne Became a man by birth 赞美神彰显祂的慈爱 神差遣祂的爱子到世上 主耶稣离开天国的宝座 成为人的样式降临尘世
The virgin’s baby son All creation praised Him God incarnate come Come to Bethlehem 圣婴由童女所生 一切被造的都要赞美祂 神道成肉身降临 生于伯利恒城
Still a higher call had He Deliverance from our sins Come to set all people free From Satan’s hold within 祂来实践属天的呼召 要救我们脱离罪恶 降临为拯救万民 脱离撒但的势力
For by the sin of man we fell By the Son of God He crushed the power of hell Death we fear no more 因世人犯罪堕落 上帝之子 祂粉碎了地狱权势 死亡,我们不再害怕
Now we stand with strength, with power The sons of God on earth Faithful to the final hour Christ’s righteousness our worth 现今我们靠主刚强站稳 世上属神的儿女 务要至死忠心 基督的义使我们得生命
And now all praise is given For the babe, the Son The Savior King is risen Christ is Lord indeed 现今献上一切颂赞 至圣婴孩新生王 救主君王已复生 基督确实是主
For the babe, the Son The Savior King is risen Christ is Lord indeed 至圣婴孩新生王 救主君王已复生 基督确实是主
