What Child Is This?
What child is this, who, laid to rest
誰之子,靜躺安憩
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
在瑪麗之膝
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
使徒以聖歌禮讚
While shepherds watch are keeping?
牧羊人凝視
Why lies He in such mean estate,
此兒曾靜躺
Where ox and ass are feeding?
在那牛棚矮欄地
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
沉默之中出話語, 那眾人所畏都將止息。
The silent Word is pleading.
這便是,便是基督聖主。
This, this is Christ the King,
這便是,便是基督聖主。
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
牧者為所守,天使為所頌
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
願那榮耀速速,速速歸其有
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
瑪麗的孩兒,神之子
Raise, raise the song on high,
金子、乳香與沒藥
The Virgin sings her lullaby:
頌歌高高、高高地奏起
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
歡頌基督之誕辰
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
瑪麗的孩兒,神之子
