1 主啊,圣洁的无辜婴孩
为你舍了他们幼小的生命,
勇敢的殉道者与忍耐的圣徒
为你在烈火与争战中站立。
1 O Lord, the Holy Innocents
Laid down for Thee their infant life,
And martyrs brave and patient saints
Have stood for Thee in fire and strife.
2 我们戴着他们古时所戴的十字架,
我们的嘴唇学会立同样的誓愿;
我们不必死;我们不能战斗;
我们为耶稣的缘故可以做什么?
2 We wear the cross they wore of old
Our lips have learn'd like vows to make;
We need not die; we cannot fight;
What may we do for Jesus' sake?
3 哦,每一个基督徒的孩子
日复一日有许多当做的事,在外在内;
要为耶稣的缘故死一次,
要与罪打一场疲倦的战争。
3 O day by day each Christian child
Has much to do, without, within;
A death to die for Jesus' sake,
A weary war to wage with sin.
4 当我们胀大的心里深处,
起了骄傲与愤怒的思想,
当苦毒的话语在我们舌上,
激愤的眼泪在我们眼中;
4 When deep within our swelling hearts,
The thoughts of pride and anger rise,
When bitter words are on our tongues,
And tears of passion in our eyes;
5 那时我们可以止住愤怒的一击,
那时我们可以遏制匆忙的话,
以温柔的回答回应,
为我们的主打一场仗。
5 Then we may stay the angry blow,
Then we may check the hasty word,
Give gentle answers back again,
And fight a battle for our Lord.
6 用平安的微笑与慈爱的神色,
我们可以使我们的住处明亮,
吩咐亲切的好脾气在那里照亮,
一切仍为耶稣的缘故而做。
6 With smiles of peace and looks of love,
Light in our dwellings we may make,
Bid kind good-humour brighten there,
And do all still for Jesus' sake.
5 没有一个孩子如此软弱渺小,
不能有他小小的十字架要背,
他爱与赞美的小小工作,
他可以为耶稣的缘故去做。
5 There's not a child so weak and small
But has his little cross to take,
His little work of love and praise,
That he may do for Jesus' sake.
