英文歌詞 中文歌詞(普天頌讚)
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:

願神賜君歡喜快樂,

無事使你頹喪,

莫忘基督我們救主,

在聖誕日下降;

當我走錯祂拯救我,

遠離撒但羅網。

Refrain O tidings of comfort and joy,

comfort and joy,

O tidings of comfort and joy.'

好佳音賜平安快樂,

平安快樂,

好佳音賜平安快樂。

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:

在野地裡有牧羊人,

夜間看守群羊,

天父上帝差來天使,

大好信息傳揚;

那稱為上帝獨生子,

在伯利恆誕降。

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:

那位天使對牧人說:

"你們不要驚慌",

有一童女今日生子,

祂是救世君王;

祂使那信靠祂的人,

脫離撒但捆綁。

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,萬國萬民,

同來讚美上主,

以誠以愛,互相攜手,

情誼深似手足;

神聖節令基督降生,

萬民蒙恩得贖。
