It Came upon the Midnight Clear 夜半歌聲 It Came upon the Midnight Clear
It came upon the mid-night clear That glorious song of old 緬想當年時方夜半 忽來榮耀歌聲 It came upon the mid-night clear That glorious song of old 天使屈身俯向塵寰 怡然手撥金琴 From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold S134 It came upon the midnight clear 1/6
The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing 地上平安人增友誼 天賜特殊奇恩 Peace on the earth, good-will to men From heaven’s all gracious King 當晚世界沉寂之中 靜聽天使歌聲 The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing S134 It came upon the midnight clear 2/6
Who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow 世界萬千勞苦民眾 負擔重壓身心 And ye, beneath life’s crushing load Whose forms are bending low 日夜奔跑勞碌營生 難享一息安寧 Who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow S134 It came upon the midnight clear 3/6
O rest beside the weary load And hear the angels sing 當知所望黃金時代 不久便要來臨 Look now! For glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing 崎嶇道上請息片時 靜聽天使歌聲 O rest beside the weary load And hear the angels sing S134 It came upon the midnight clear 4/6
For lo, the days are hastening on By prophet seen of old 因為歲月周行不息 世事積極前進 For lo, the days are hastening on By prophet seen of old 黃金時代一定來臨 先知早已說明 When, with the ever-circling years Shall come the time foretold S134 It came upon the midnight clear 5/6
And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing 到時新天新地生靈 共戴和平之君 When the new heaven and earth shall own The prince of Peace their King 普天之下齊聲響應 今日天使歌聲 And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing S134 It came upon the midnight clear 6/6
