what child is this

孰為此兒靜躺安憩

在瑪麗之膝安睡

使徒以聖歌禮讚
What child is this, who , laid to rest
牧羊人凝視其無擾之息
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
這便是，便是基督聖主
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
牧者為所守，天使為所頌
While shepherds watch are keeping?
願那榮耀速速，速速歸其有
This, this is Christ the King,
瑪麗的孩兒，神之子
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
為何安放在卑賤地方
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
牛棚矮欄在身旁
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
好基督徒應該思量要使罪人得以釋放

沉默之中出話語那眾人所畏都將止息
Why lies He in such mean estate,
釘貫手足，矛刺肋旁
Where ox and ass are feeding?
為你為我十架擔當
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
高舉聖道成為肉身
The silent Word is pleading.
瑪麗的孩兒，神之子
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through,
金子、乳香與沒藥君主帶來獻呈愛禮
The cross be borne for me, for you.
王和人民都擁戴他
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
主中之主普救世人
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
願仁愛之心都尊其威儀

頌歌高高、高高地奏起
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
歡頌基督之誕辰
Come peasant king to own Him,
瑪麗的孩兒，神之子
The King of kings, salvation brings,
.
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Raise, raise the song on high,

Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
