Once in royal David's city-Libera

[00:01.62] Once in royal David’s city
昔日在大卫王的城邑 [00:02.43] Stood a lowly cattle shed,
有座简陋的牛棚矗立 [00:02.94] Where a mother laid her baby
慈母将怀中圣婴轻放 [00:03.51] In a manger for His bed:
马槽权作安睡之床： [00:06.48] Mary was that mother mild,
温良圣母玛利亚， [00:22.38] Jesus Christ her little Child.
圣婴基督怀中依。 [00:28.47] He came down to earth from heaven,
祂自天国降临尘世， [00:53.07] Who is God and Lord of all,
万有主宰至高神， [00:53.73] And His shelter was a stable,
栖身之所唯马厩， [01:34.68] And His cradle was a stall;
摇篮竟是饲马槽； [01:35.28] With the poor and mean and lowly,
与贫贱者同甘苦， [01:44.37] Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
圣洁救主住人间。 [01:45.72] And our eyes at last shall see Him,
终有一日得见主， [01:46.35] Through His own redeeming love,
全凭救赎恩典深， [01:46.89] For that Child so dear and gentle
因这温柔可爱婴孩 [02:24.30] Is our Lord in Heav’n above,
正是天上我君王， [02:24.90] And He leads His children on
祂必引领众子民 [02:25.53] To the place where He is gone.
同往祂所去之地。 [02:26.07] Not in that poor lowly stable,
不在卑微马棚中， [02:26.70] With the oxen standing by,
亦非牛群环绕处， [02:34.41] We shall see Him; but in Heaven,
我们得见主圣颜； [02:45.54] Set at God’s right hand on high;
乃在天庭至高处， [02:46.20] Where like stars His children crowned
祂的众子戴冠冕 [02:46.98] All in white shall wait around.
白衣如雪侍立前。
