年初已著手翻譯John Rutter另一首耳熟能詳的作品：Look at the World，但一直填不好第四節的歌詞，擱置了多月，日前再嘗試，並參考了本地另一翻譯版本：劉永生先生的《觀看宇宙》，終告勉強完成：

《靜看世界》

Words and Music by John Rutter
粵譯：海牛

靜看世界　環～視身週一切
環視世間～　能每日也驚歎
靜看世界　無窮盡歡笑奧妙
沿路上滿是動人的奇蹟
Look at the world, everything all around us
Look at the world and marvel every day.
Look at the world: so many joys and wonders,
So many miracles along our way
（副歌）

副歌：父　你創造美好當得讚揚
　　　讓我帶著感恩心細賞
　　　我們領受各種恩賜福氣
　　　一切　皆自你
　　　Praise to thee, O lord for all creation.
　　　Give us thankful hearts that we may see
　　　All the gifts we share, and every blessing,
　　　All things come of thee.

望我鄉土　全～地花果錦繡
凝望那天際　時雨日照更替
望那山川　流泉在滋養田原
林～木青青　峰嶺高又險
Look at the earth bringing forth fruit and flower,
Look at the sky the sunshine and the rain.
Look at the hills, look at the trees and mountains,
Valley and flowing river, field and plain.

念那春光　難忘夏天的溫暖
寒夜雪霜厚　還慶幸有秋收
萬有生機　慈～父皆已定期
待那天收取擁抱進懷中
Think of the spring, think of the warmth of summer
Bringing the harvest before winters cold.
Everything grows, everything has a season,
till it is gathered to the Father’s fold:

上帝愛眷　賜美好珍寶恩賜
平日我需要　全仰賴主恩典
地與高天　全～屬主　滿美善
讓～我珍惜所託　不敗損
Every good gift, all that we need and cherish.
Comes from the Lord in token of his love
We are his hands, stewards of all his bounty
His is the earth and his the heavens above

跟劉永生先生的版本相比，我這個版本在翻譯上較著重貼近原文，卻在詩意上顯得有所不及。
