序號 中文 英文
1 夜盡天明君王來臨,得勝光輝照耀,
東山抹上美麗彩霞,生命充滿歡欣。
The King shall come when morning dawns
and light triumphant breaks,
when beauty gilds the eastern hills
and life to joy awakes.
2 不似往日小小孩童,忍受爭戰死亡,
如今頭戴榮耀冠冕,燦爛如同日光。
Not as of old a little child,
to bear, and fight, and die,
but crowned with glory like the sun
that lights the morning sky.
3 基督得勝復活之時,還比朝日明亮,
離開死蔭孤寂之地,不理仇敵瘋狂。
O brighter than the rising morn
when He, victorious, rose
and left the lonesome place of death,
despite the rage of foes.
4 榮耀更勝復活之晨,那日必將來臨,
基督榮耀再臨之時,必得見他榮面。
O brighter than that glorious morn
shall this fair morning be,
when Christ, our King, in beauty comes,
and we His face shall see.
5 夜盡天明君王來臨,塵世黑夜已過,
願那晨曦趕快升起,白晝永不失落。
The King shall come when morning dawns
and earth's dark night is past;
O haste the rising of that morn,
the day that aye shall last.
6 願那無盡福樂開始,勞苦聖徒所言,
正義終必戰勝罪惡,真理廣受頌讚。
And let the endless bliss begin,
by weary saints foretold,
when right shall triumph over wrong,
and truth shall be extolled.
7 夜盡天明君王來到,帶來榮美光彩,
主基督啊你民懇求,萬王之王快來。
The King shall come when morning dawns,
and light and beauty brings;
"Hail, Christ the Lord!" Thy people pray,
come quickly, King of kings!
