How beautiful is the song “How Beautiful”? How beautiful is the body of Christ!

基督的身體，不單指那個曾出現在二千年前巴勒斯坦地的實體耶穌，也指祂升天以後在地上尊祂為首的教會，本應俊美如斯。

這首歌，網路上有人以之為婚禮詩選，雖是捉錯了用神，但也無不可。

其實它應在施聖餐時唱。

一直想把它翻譯成粵詞，但屢試不成，便擱下了。

上星期，教會查經講主設立聖餐，於是思潮和靈感又回來了。

又原來，沉澱了這許久，是叫我好去發現過往其實沒認真地注意那些細微的音節。

《何其俊美》

何其俊美　服苦一對手
為俗世之子　奉上這餅跟酒
何其俊美　滿風沙兩腿
朝十架山去　路遠艱險崎嶇
How beautiful the hands that served
the wine and the bread and the sons of the earth
How beautiful the feet that walked
the long dusty roads and the hills to the cross

　　何其俊美　何其俊美
　　基督這身體　是那麼的俊美
　　How beautiful, how beautiful
　　How beautiful is the body of Christ

何其俊美　那顆淌血心
全替我擔起　罪責一力承受
何其俊美　那溫婉眼中
常定意寬恕　永不把我蔑視
How beautiful the heart that bled
That took all my sin and bore it instead
How beautiful the tender eyes
That choose to forgive and never despise

　　何其俊美　何其俊美
　　基督這身體　是那麼的俊美
　　How beautiful, how beautiful
　　How beautiful is the body of Christ

　　同效主捨身成仁
　　呈活祭天天榮神
　　因祂犠牲　而活這生
　　甘心傾注重價
　　甘心傾出重價
　　And as He laid down His life
　　We offer this sacrifice
　　That we will live just as he died
　　Willing to pay the price
　　Willing to pay the price

何其俊美　主新娘在等
迎候見新郎　眼中輝映真光
何其俊美　那謙卑好心
純潔的一生　貢獻他者得生
How beautiful the radiant bride
Who waits for her groom with His light in her eyes
How beautiful when humble hearts give
The fruit of pure lives so that others may live

　　何其俊美　何其俊美
　　何其俊美　是這基督身體
　　How beautiful, how beautiful
　　How beautiful is the body of Christ

何其俊美　那奔波腳踪
傳上主真愛　報美好的福音
何其俊美　服苦一對手
為俗世之子　奉上這餅跟酒
How beautiful the feet that bring
The sound of good news and the love of the King
How beautiful the hands that serve
The wine and the bread and the sons of the earth

　　何其俊美　何其俊美
　　基督這身體　是那麼的俊美
　　How beautiful, how beautiful
　　How beautiful is the body of Christ
