It Came Upon the Midnight Clear 夜半歌声

词：Edmund Hamilton Sears
诗集：《世纪颂赞》146
It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold;
“Peace on the earth
good will to men
From Heaven’s all gracious King.”
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
And ye
beneath life’s crushing load
Whose forms are bending low
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing.
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing!
Gesu Bambino 婴孩耶稣
曲：Pietro Alessandro Yon
词：Frederick Martens
When blossoms flowered 'mid the snows
Upon a winter night
Was born the Child
the Christmas Rose
The King of Love and Light.
The angels sang
the shepherds sang
The grateful earth rejoiced;
And at His blessed birth the stars
Their exultation voiced.
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord.
Again the heart with rapture glows
To greet the holy night
That gave the world its Christmas Rose
Its King of Love and Light.
Let ev'ry voice acclaim His name
The grateful chorus swell.
From paradise to earth He came
That we with Him might dwell.
