Love pours from the depths of my being;
My King, my Husband, my Lord.

很久遠以先 漆黑遍地蔽天 教萬有主發悶
祂張眼四方 嘴巴有話要講 主創造正式開展
天鋪日月星 管晚上白晝 飛鳥唱歌和鳴動聽
滿海是大魚 花襯綠樹蔭 皆主創奇妙工
來歡唱 神開創 這新天地之喜
看一切 神所創 多麼好 多麼美
來歡唱 神開創 這新天地之喜
看一切 神所創 真太好 榮又美
Once upon a time the world was very dark;
God felt very lonely.
He looked all around, His face bent in a frown;
and then He started making:
the sun and the moon, the stars in the sky,
all of the birds that fly up high,
the fish in the sea, the flowers and trees
are all a part of God’s
creation, creation; God made a great new world.
Creation, creation, and it was very good!
Creation, creation; God made a great new world.
Creation, creation, and it was very good!
經過第五天 生機似盡已展 卻未慰主厭悶
祂張眼四方 嘴巴有話再講 這創造要有加添
獅在怒吼（ROAR!） 鴨在笑（QUACK!） 家裡小狗常吠叫（WOOF!）
尊尚目的 配男女 照著神樣式
來歡唱 神開創 這新天地之喜
看一切 神所創 多麼好 多麼美
來歡唱 神開創 這新天地之喜
看一切 神所創 真太好 榮又美
原來係這麼美！
By day number five the world had come alive;
still God felt so lonely.
He loked all around, His face bent in a frown,
and then He started making:
Lions that roar!(ROAR!) Ducks that quack!(QUACK!)
Dogs that bark behind your back!(WOOF!)
Woman and man! What a plan!
All are parts of God’s
creation, creation; God made a great new world.
Creation, creation, and it was very good!
Creation, creation; God made a great new world.
Creation, creation, and it was very good,
and it was very good!
願這天這讚歌
遍地和小孩唱
賀聖嬰君王誕
降世為來救贖
愛及和平賜下
On this day earth shall ring
With the song children sing
To the child, tiny King,
Born on earth to save us,
Peace and love He gave us.
耀景星天際顯
引博士三賢至
跪我主小床邊
獻奉珍貴禮物
讚頌與敬拜祂
Wondrous star o’er His head,
Wise Men three to Him led.
Kneel they low by His bed,
lay their gifts before Him.
Praise Him and adore Him.
(Gloria in Excelsis Deo…)
在這天天使歌
遍地和歡然唱
賀聖嬰君王誕
降世為來救贖
賜下愛與平安
On this day angels sing.
With their songs earth shall ring
Sounds of joy to the King!
Born on earth to save us,
Peace and love He gave us
十架凌越時代山嶺上閃耀
如像破曉東升朝陽美豔
大愛真光源自主寶架灑下
滌潔寸心惡罪污穢驅去
至寶十架今普世轉目瞻仰
悠悠歷世千秋久遠亦然
原來人心多殷盼基督光照
如沉船怒海中等天亮至
Above the hills of time the cross is gleaming,
Fair as the sun when night has turned to day;
And from it love’s pure light is richly streaming,
To cleanse the heart and banish sin away.
To this dear cross the eyes of men are turning,
Today as in the ages lost to sight;
And so for Thee, O Christ, men’s hearts are yearning,
As shipwrecked seamen yearn for morning light.
妙愛顯彰流露基督寶架上
如像曙光甦醒我們的心
饒恕我眾隨罪心偷生苟活
藉主再生應許今已得到
悠揚殿宇鐘聲天際在奏鳴
和著我心曲跟主愛響應
求常存不息的愛熱愛我神
直到我眾相擁於主懷裡
The cross, O Christ, Thy wondrous love revealing,
Awakes our hearts as with the light of morn,
And pardon o’er our sinful spirits stealing,
Tells us that we, in Thee, have been reborn.
Like echoes to sweet temple bells replying
Our hearts, O Lord, make answer to Thy love;
And we will love Thee with a love undying,
Till we are gathered to Thy home above.
上主日，公理堂日堂詩班獻唱了John Rutter作品Look to the Day，在崇拜單張中夾附了歌詞及其中譯文（不能唱的，亦恕我認為那翻譯偏離了原來的詞意）。我以為可以比中譯文做多一點，就是若能把歌詞翻成合粵韻的中詞，那就更好了。主日前，我已把頭兩節翻了，並貼了在個人臉書上，今兒終把四節都完成了：
《張眼不遠見來日》
Words and Music by John Rutter – Hinshaw Music, Inc.
粵譯：海牛
張眼不遠來日世界換一新
清朗早晨揚臂迎藍天
漫山土香栽出鮮花璀璨
閃耀著玉露光芒伴你信步行
寫意舒閑悠悠樂哉每一刻
佳果飽嚐沿路何其多
不再趕時匆忙 追尋可愛的夢
張眼不遠 能有日見
Look to the day when the world seems new again:
Morning so fresh you could touch the sky;
The earth smells sweet and ev’ry flower looks bright,
Shining in a dewy light as you wander by.
Taking the time to enjoy each moment;
Tasting the fruits spread along your way,
Knowing there’s time to spare, Dreams you can dream and share:
Look to the day, look to the day.
張眼不遠來日綠野定再見
春必歸來除盡寒夜凍
復甦生機之聲處處可聞
帶著不息的音韻進你的心坎
土裡深藏能再復生的種子
安靜堅強候大地回春
生成枝頭新芽 長成花蕾果兒
張眼不遠 田野共唱
Look to the day when the earth is green again:
Promise of spring after winter’s sleep.
The sounds of life returning fill the air,
Music that’s forever there for your heart to keep.
Deep in the earth lay the seed of life renewed,
Quiet and strong till the time of spring:
Life in each bud and shoot, Life in each flower and fruit,
Look to that day when earth shall sing.
終見光明會除盡黑漆陰影
希望終能平伏顫與驚
上主支撐我至戰鬥得勝
見證使命達與成就在這一天
深盼轉眼來日痛苦莫再有
悲傷憂愁過眼如雲煙
禱告終能得見 深信此期不遠
張眼不遠 能有日見
Look to the light that will drive out darkness;
Look to the hope that will conquer fear.
God’s strength uphold us till the fight is won,
Till we see our task is done when the day is here.
Look for that day when there shall be no more pain;
Sorrow and sighing shall pass away.
Pray for the day to come, Trust that the day will come,
Look to that day, look to the day.
感激主賜我眾氣息與安康
新種新苗求祢種我心
主啊使我得見 一切皆祢恩眷
張眼不遠 能有日見 能有日見 能見著祢
Lord, we give thanks for the gifts of life and health;
Plant a new seed in our hearts, we pray:
Help us to see, O Lord, How it could be, O Lord;
Look to the day, look to that day, look to the day, look to that day.
我入邊外邊上邊下邊
I’m inright outright upright downright
每天都開心
Happy all the time
我入邊外邊上邊下邊
I’m inright outright upright downright
每天都開心
Happy all the time
主活著在我心
Since Jesus Christ came in
祂抹去我罪污
And took away my sin
今我周身的每一邊都
I’m inright outright upright downright
天天感興奮
Happy all the time
點起這燭火
發光潔又亮
主要我們如光
輝照夜半央
世間漆黑一片
待我光照
你我去朝自家
將真光照
Jesus bids us shine,
With a pure, clear light,
Like a little candle,
Burning in the night.
In this world is darkness,
So let us shine–
You in your small corner,
And I in mine.
點起這燭火
發出主光輝
幾時我暗無光
主看透徹底
祂於高天俯察
望我光照
你我去朝自家
將真光照
Jesus bids us shine,
First of all for Him;
Well He sees and knows it,
If our light grows dim;
He looks down from heaven,
To see us shine–
You in your small corner,
And I in mine.
點起這燭火
照通遠或近
黑暗重重圍繞
普世罪已深
充斥貪心、悲痛
我當光照
你我去朝自家
將真光照
Jesus bids us shine,
Then, for all around
Many kinds of darkness
In this world are found –
Sin, and want, and sorrow;
So we must shine,
You in your small corner,
And I in mine.
《Lord, Speak to Me, that I May Speak》是Frances R. Havergal的詞作，共七節，普天頌讚收編為《宣教歌》（321），調用HOLLEY，到了譚氏主導編修新普頌，便把此歌配了另一調EISENACH，並重新翻譯成《求主使用差遣》（526），只選了其中五節（1, 2, 4, 6 & 7），可惜此新譯詞不但沒有解決歌詞不恊粵音的老問題（實情是劇化了問題），譯詞也嫌偏離原詞意思太多。上主日是公理堂的差傳主日，崇拜選了此新譯版本作回應詩歌，不知道各位堂內兄姊唱來有何感覺。我就按EISENACH的調子，做了另一個譯本如下（七節齊）：
《神啊！發聲啟我正道》
Words by Frances R. Havergal
Music “EISENACH” by Bartholomäus Gesius/Johann H. Schein
粵譯：海牛
神啊！發聲啟我正道，
容我活潑宣講呼應；
神愛覓尋孤苦失喪，
催我亦效祢找迷羊。
Lord, speak to me that I may speak
In living echoes of Thy tone;
As Thou has sought, so let me seek
Thine erring children lost and lone.
求父引牽，使我亦能
回頭導引飄泊浪人；
神賜我食，恩賜嗎哪，
促我分享救助飢困。
O lead me, Lord, that I may lead
The wandering and the wavering feet;
O feed me, Lord, that I may feed
Thy hungering ones with manna sweet.
惟願靠主加我力量，
磐石上我屹立穩當，
才可伸張關愛臂胳，
跟那怒潮惡浪相搏。
Oh, strengthen me, that while I stand
Firm on the Rock, and strong in Thee,
I may stretch out a loving hand
To wrestlers with the troubled sea.
神是我師，謹領寶訓，
求能律我教導別人；
我口所宣，添祢恩翅，
飛進入人心隱私處。
O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
The precious things Thou dost impart;
And wing my words, that they may reach
The hidden depths of many a heart.
求讓我得主賜安息，
能力復再，慰問別人，
猶似恩主親說聖言，
適切合時，紓憂解困。
Oh, give Thine own sweet rest to me,
That I may speak with soothing power
A word in season, as from Thee,
To weary ones in needful hour.
求讓祢的豐富完全
盈盈在我心中溢流
如火光輝思想說話，
好宣主愛，顯祢美名。
O fill me with Thy fullness, Lord,
Until my very heart o’erflow
In kindling thought and glowing word,
Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show.
何日、那方，依祢心意，
毋嫌莫棄，請主差使，
直到那日，親見祢臉，
享主安息、快樂光榮。
O use me, Lord, use even me,
Just as Thou wilt, and when, and where,
Until Thy blessed face I see,
Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share.
