英文歌词 中文歌词(普天颂赞)
1 God rest you merry, gentlemen,

Let nothing you dismay,

For Jesus Christ our Saviour

Was born upon this day,

To save us all from Satan's power

When we were gone astray:

愿神赐君欢喜快乐,

无事使你颓丧,

莫忘基督我们救主,

在圣诞日下降;

当我走错祂拯救我,

远离撒但罗网。

Refrain O tidings of comfort and joy,

comfort and joy,

O tidings of comfort and joy.'

好佳音赐平安快乐,

平安快乐,

好佳音赐平安快乐。

2 In Bethlehem, in Jury,

This blessed Babe was born,

And laid within a manger

Upon this blessed morn,

The which His Mother Mary

Did nothing take in scorn:

3 From God our heavenly Father

A blessèd angel came,

And unto certain shepherds

Brought tidings of the same,

How that in Bethlehem was born

The Son of God by name:

在野地里有牧羊人,

夜间看守群羊,

天父上帝差来天使,

大好信息传扬;

那称为上帝独生子,

在伯利恒诞降。

4 The shepherds at those tidings

Rejoicèd much in mind,

And left their flocks a-feeding

In tempest, storm and wind,

And went to Bethlehem straightway,

This blessèd Babe to find:

5 But when to Bethlehem they came,

Whereat this Infant lay,

They found Him in a manger,

Where oxen feed on hay;

His mother Mary kneeling,

Unto the Lord did pray:

那位天使对牧人说:

"你们不要惊慌",

有一童女今日生子,

祂是救世君王;

祂使那信靠祂的人,

脱离撒但捆绑。

6 Now to the Lord sing praises,

All you within this place,

And with true love and brotherhood

Each other now embrace;

This holy tide of Christmas

All others doth deface:

普天之下,万国万民,

同来赞美上主,

以诚以爱,互相携手,

情谊深似手足;

神圣节令基督降生,

万民蒙恩得赎。
