457 一轮明月 The Moon and Stars of Christmas Eve

457 一轮明月 The Moon and Stars of Christmas Eve

1一轮明月数点寒星
Yi lun ming yue shu dian han xing
映照羊身色如银
Ying zhao yang shen se ru yin
数位牧人 和蔼可亲
Shu wei mu ren he ai ke qin
围坐草地叙寒温
Wei zuo cao di xu han wen

奇光灿烂 歌声悠扬
Qi guang can lan ge sheng you yang
牧人俯伏愕且惊
Mu ren fu fu e qie jing
云中天使 报告同声
Yun zhong tian shi bao gao tong sheng
神子已生伯利恒
Shen zi yi sheng bo li hen

2歌声完毕 奇光渐敛
Ge sheng wan bi qi guang jian lian
牧人跃起同欣然
Mu ren yue qi tong xin ran
抛弃羊群 向前飞奔
Pao qi yang qun xiang qian fei ben
寻觅圣婴去拜参
Xun mi sheng ying qu bai can

人声鼎沸 佳报频传
Ren sheng ding fei jia bao pin chuan
满城欢乐齐颂赞
Man cheng huan le qi song zan
农工良友 平民救星
Nong gong liang you ping min jiu xing
今日降生人世间
Jin re jiang sheng ren shi jian

3旅店数椽 兀立古城
Lü dian shu chuan wu li gu cheng
几度沧桑废与兴
Ji du cang sang fei yu xing
今日何幸 圣母投宿
Jin re he xing sheng mu tuo su
降生救主在其中
Jiang sheng jiu zhu zai qi zhong

东方学者 不远千里
Dong fang xue zhe bu yuan qian li
来献礼物丰且隆
Lai xian li wu feng qie long
博爱救主 和平真神
Bo ai jiu zhu he ping zhen shen
今日降生伯利恒
Jin re jiang sheng bo li hen

    The Moon and Stars of Christmas Eve

    Stars of ice wheel of moonlight bright
    Shine on sheep with silv’ry light
    Humble shepherds chatting circled round
    Sit content on grassy heights
    Sudden light Hark the angels sing
    Shepherd crouch in awe
    Mid the clouds the angels proclaim
    God’s Son is born in Bethlehem

    Dies the song stars and moon gently fade
    Shepherds leap for very joy
    Leave their quiet flocks homeward quickly fly
    Worship then the Holy boy
    Wondrous news thru the streets resounds
    Glad praises fill ev’ry home
    Poor man’s Saviour peasant’s Friend
    Comes today to Bethlehem

    Learned men from far eastern lands
    Kneel before the Holy Child
    Bring abundant gifts rare luxuriant
    Crowd the age-worn village inn
    Miles on miles had they come to adore
    No distance seemed too far
    Boundless saving peaceful love
    Now has come to Bethlehem
