昨天公理堂元旦日感恩崇拜裡，禮頓必街兩堂的JoyfulKids同學和導師們獻唱了一首《天父愛記在虹彩》的詩歌，中譯的歌詞係海牛年多前的拙作，一直未有發表，是因為在蔡紹雄弟兄牽頭下，曾與幾位弟兄組了一個小組，一心想集眾人之力做一些以粵韻翻譯詩歌的工作，待有集體成果才一併發表，奈何兩年下來，各有各忙，產量無幾…

按：原曲為Becki Slagle Mayo的《A Rainbow is a Promise》。

《天父愛記在虹彩》

天父愛記在虹彩　應許不會變改
祂立約記在虹彩　顯無限關愛
每種色彩是祂永共行的表彰與保證
每闕光譜提我主常伴絕處自有神蹟
雨後看到這七彩　記取慈父大愛
A rainbow is a promise showing how God loves us.
A rainbow is a promise showing how God cares.
Ev’ry color is a vow that God is with us ev’ry day.
Ev’ry ray is a reminder, God is never far away.
A rainbow is a promise, a promise of God’s love.

天邊乍現紅橙黃　綠與紫夾著青與藍
襯著明亮太陽　主應許永念莫忘
Red and orange and yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet
sparkle in the sunlight, reminding us once again.

天父愛記在虹彩　應許不會變改
（這約定記虹彩內　愛未曾改）
祂立約記在虹彩　顯無限關愛
（這約定記虹彩內　顯出祂關愛）
每種色彩是祂永共行的表彰與保證
（每種色彩是祂永共行的表彰與保證）
每闕光譜提我主常伴絕處定見神蹟
（每闕光譜提我主常伴絕處定見拯救）
主立約永不更改　這彩虹藏著愛
（這約定記虹彩內　沒變是主的愛）
彩虹橋藏著愛
（常念記主的愛）
A rainbow is a promise showing how God loves us.
［A rainbow is a promise showing God’s love.］
A rainbow is a promise showing how God cares.
［A rainbow is a promise showing how God cares.］
Ev’ry color is a vow that we are always in God’s care
［Ev’ry color is a vow that we are always in God’s care］
Ev’y ray is a reminder, God is with us ev’rywhere.
［Ev’y ray is a reminder, God is with us ev’rywhere.］
A rainbow is a promise, a promise of God’s love,
［A rainbow is a promise, a promise of God’s love,］
a promise of God’s love.
［a promise of God’s love.］
