1. God and Community

敬拜是一個歸家的旅途。神是我們的目的地，會眾 是我們旅途的同伴，詩歌是我們的交通工具。 Worship: a journey home God: our destiny The faith community: our fellow travelers Songs we sing: our vehicle 5/18/2014 Warren Wang

詩歌 Wandering hearts God 我們的心原本在世俗中遊蕩，藉著詩歌，我們回到 神的面前，瞻仰並歌頌他的榮美 Worship songs 5/18/2014 Warren Wang

唱詩的目的 唱詩的本身並不是目的，它只是達到目的的工具。 將一首詩歌的曲調唱對、節拍唱對、發音唱對、唱 得動聽、唱得開心，並不是唱詩的目的。 基督徒唱詩的目的是敬拜神，詩歌只是幫助我們達 到目的的工具。唱詩的本身並不是目的。 最好的唱詩，是藉著詩歌來到神的面前，以心靈和 誠實敬拜他。你的注意力已經來到了神的上面，而 不是停留在詩歌的上面。如果停留在詩歌上面，這 個唱詩就是失敗的唱詩，因為你並沒有達到目的 地。 5/18/2014 Warren Wang

詩歌的種類 Community worship Personal worship 崇拜詩歌 團契詩歌 個人詩歌 5/18/2014 Warren Wang

高真美 好的崇拜詩歌具有三個特徵，就是高、真、美。 意境崇高：詩歌上達天庭，讚美神的崇高偉大 傳遞真理：在唱的同時，也傳遞了聖經的真理 詞曲優美：詞和曲達到了詩的境界，產生美感 所有好的詩歌，都應當具有高、真、美三個特徵。 然而團契的詩歌，應當比個人詩歌更高、更真、更 美。而崇拜的詩歌，又比團契詩歌更高、更真、更 美。 5/18/2014 Warren Wang

The difference between artistic rendering and congregational singing 歌手表演與會眾唱詩之不同 歌手表演：是表演性質，可以自由發揮，變腔、 變調、變節奏… 會眾唱詩：是敬拜性質，必須在一個共同認識的 基礎上，一起向神歌唱。 5/18/2014 Warren Wang

詩篇原本是以色列會眾所唱的詩歌，曲調早已失 傳，但那比曲調更加重要的歌詞，卻被完整地保存 下來。 The Psalter ＝worship songs 5/18/2014 Warren Wang

A longing for God 渴慕神 萬軍之耶和華啊，你的居所何等可愛！ 我羨慕渴想耶和華的院宇；我的心腸，我的肉體向永 生神呼籲。 萬軍之耶和華我的王，我的神啊，在你祭壇那裡，麻 雀為自己找著房屋，燕子為自己找著菢雛之窩。 如此住在你殿中的便為有福！他們仍要讚美你。 How lovely are Your dwelling places, O Lord of hosts! My soul longed and even yearned for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God. The bird also has found a house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even Your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God. How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You. 5/18/2014 Warren Wang

靠你有力量、心中想往錫安大道的，這人便為有 福！ 他們經過「流淚谷」，叫這谷變為泉源之地；並 有秋雨之福蓋滿了全谷。 Highways to Zion 錫安大道 靠你有力量、心中想往錫安大道的，這人便為有 福！ 他們經過「流淚谷」，叫這谷變為泉源之地；並 有秋雨之福蓋滿了全谷。 他們行走，力上加力，各人到錫安朝見神。 How blessed is the man whose strength is in You, in whose heart are the highways to Zion! Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a spring; the early rain also covers it with blessings. They go from strength to strength, every one of them appears before God in Zion. 詩篇 Psalm 84:1-7 5/18/2014 Warren Wang

這首詩歌適用於何處？ 雲上太陽 無論是住在美麗的高山，或是躺臥在陰暗的幽谷； 當你抬起頭， 你將會發現，主已為你我而預備。 雲上太陽， 它總不改變， 雖然小雨灑在臉上， 哈！ 它不改變。 5/18/2014 Warren Wang

這首詩歌適用於何處？ 這耶和華是愛 耶和华是爱，让我安歇青草溪水边 神令我省察心中的幽暗，共度每一天 耶和华是爱，在困境中他保守引领 神为我摆设丰盛的恩典，再危难也不改变 在世间主恩与共，他的爱常在我身边 神为我施恩惠保守勉励，共同度此生 无限满足快乐涌自心田，再危难也不改变 5/18/2014 Warren Wang

這首詩歌適用於何處？ 這一生最美的祝福 在無數的黑夜裡，我用星星畫出你， 你的恩典如晨星，讓我真實的見到你， 在我的歌聲裡，我用音符讚美你， 你的美好是我今生頌揚的。 這一生最美的祝福，就是能認識主耶穌， 這一生最美的祝福，就是能信靠主耶穌， 走在高山深谷，祂會伴我同行， 我知道 這是最美的祝福。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIOmLW_y4cs 5/18/2014 Warren Wang

Holy! 聖哉！聖哉！聖哉！ 四活物各有六個翅膀，遍體內外都滿了眼睛。他 們晝夜不住的說：聖哉！聖哉！聖哉！主神是昔 在、今在、以後永在的全能者。啓4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. Rev. 4:8 5/18/2014 Warren Wang

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee. Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty, God in three persons, blessed the trinity. Holy, holy, holy, all the saints adore Thee. Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea. Cherubim and Seraphim falling down before Thee, Who wert, and art, and evermore shall be! 5/18/2014 Warren Wang

The Lord reigns 耶和華作王 耶和華作王！他以威嚴為衣穿上；耶和華以能力 為衣，以能力束腰，世界就堅定，不得動搖。 你的寶座從太初立定；你從亙古就有。詩93:1-2 The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved. Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting. Psalm 93:1-2 5/18/2014 Warren Wang

Great is the Lord! 耶和華本為大！ 耶和華本為大，該受大讚美；其大無法測度。 這代要對那代頌讚你的作為，也要傳揚你的大能。 我要默念你威嚴的尊榮和你奇妙的作為。 人要傳說你可畏之事的能力；我也要傳揚你的大德。 他們記念你的大恩就要傳出來，並要歌唱你的公義。 Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts. They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty— and I will meditate on your wonderful works.[b] They tell of the power of your awesome works— and I will proclaim your great deeds. They celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness. 詩篇 Psalm 145:3-7 5/18/2014 Warren Wang

How Great Thou Art 你真偉大 主啊我神，我每逢舉目觀看，你手所造一切奇妙大工 看見星宿，又聽到隆隆雷聲，你的大工充滿了宇宙中 我靈歌唱，讚美救主我神： 你真偉大，你真偉大！（x2） O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds thy hands have made. I see the stars, I hear the roaring thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed. Then sings my soul, my Savior God the thee: How great thou art, how great thou art! (x2) 5/18/2014 Warren Wang

3. Worthy is the Lamb

Worthy is the Lam who was slain 被殺的羔 羊是配得 大聲說：曾被殺的羔羊是配得權柄、豐富、智慧、能 力、尊貴、榮耀、頌讚的。 我又聽見在天上、地上、地底下、滄海裡，和天地間 一切所有被造之物，都說：但願頌讚、尊貴、榮耀、 權勢都歸給坐寶座的和羔羊，直到永永遠遠！ In a loud voice they were saying: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!” Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!” 啟示錄 Rev. 5:12-13 5/18/2014 Warren Wang
