1. 歡欣歡欣眾信徒,讓你明光照耀,
日落西山漸暗晦,漆黑長夜相繞,
那新郎動身出發,不久快將駕臨,
振起儆醒復期待!午夜召喚聲音
Rejoice, rejoice, believers,
and let your lights appear;
the evening is advancing,
and darker night is near.
The Bridegroom is arising
and soon is drawing nigh.
Up, pray and watch and wrestle;
at midnight comes the cry.
2. 你燈是否已點亮,把它添滿燃油?
趕快尋求主救拯,終結勞苦罪尤。
婚姻宴席早預備,城門已經打開,
興起榮光眾後嗣,新郎快將到來。
The watchers on the mountain
proclaim the Bridegroom near;
go forth, as he approaches,
with alleluias clear.
The marriage feast is waiting;
the gates wide open stand,
Arise, O heirs of glory;
the Bridegroom is at hand.
3. 昔日忍耐眾聖徒,曾將十架背負,
憂患從此不再有,永活作王歡呼。
環繞榮耀寶座前,瞻仰羔羊榮面,
卸下燦爛金冠冕,凱旋呈獻主前。
You saints, who here in patience
your cross and suff'rings bore,
shall live and reign forever
when sorrow is no more.
Around the throne of glory
the Lamb you shall behold,
in triumph lay before him
your shining crowns of gold.
4. 我眾期待與盼望,耶穌今快顯現,
萬眾渴望的紅日,光照黑暗世間,
高舉雙手獻心靈,求主容我看見,
全地得贖釋放日,永遠仰瞻主面。阿們。
Our hope and expectation,
O Jesus, now appear;
arise, O Sun so longed for,
above this shadowed sphere.
With hearts and hands uplifted
we plead, O Lord, to see
the day of earth's redemption
that sets your people free.
