Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence Lyrics · 歌词中英对照
1 愿一切属血气的都肃静,
战兢恐惧地站立;
不要思想任何属地的事,
因为基督我们的神带着祝福在手,
降临地上,
要我们献上全部的敬拜。
1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
And with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing earthly-minded,
For with blessing in his hand,
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
Our full homage to demand.
2 万王之王,却生于马利亚,
如同古时站在地上的主,
万主之主,披着人的外衣——
在身体与宝血中——
祂要把自己赐给一切忠信的人,
作天上的食物。
2 King of kings, yet born of Mary,
As of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture—
In the Body and the Blood—
He will give to all the faithful
His own self for heavenly food.
3 一队接一队,天上的大军
在前路上展开先锋,
光中之光降临,
来自无尽之日的境界,
使地狱的权势消散,
如同黑暗退去。
3 Rank on rank the host of heaven
Spreads its vanguard on the way,
As the Light of Light descendeth
From the realms of endless day,
That the powers of hell may vanish
As the darkness clears away.
4 在祂脚前,六翼的撒拉弗,
不寐之眼的基路伯,
在那临在者面前遮着脸,
不停地呼喊:
哈利路亚,哈利路亚,
哈利路亚,至高的主。
4 At his feet the six-winged seraph;
Cherubim with sleepless eye,
Veil their faces to the Presence,
As with ceaseless voice they cry,
Alleluia, alleluia,
Alleluia, Lord most high.
