| 1 | 請聽佳音救主降生，主話早已應許； 讓每顆心豫備寶座，眾口豫備樂曲。 |
Hark, the glad sound! the Savior comes, The Savior promised long! Let ev'ry heart prepare a throne And ev'ry voice a song. |
| 2 | 祂來釋放撒但囚徒，賜以自由喜樂； 銅牆鐵壁皆被打破，手銬腳鐐脫落。 |
He comes the pris'ners to release, In Satan's bondage held; The gates of brass before him burst, The iron fetters yield. |
| 3 | 祂來啟迪愚蒙心地，諸天視界開放； 撫摸醫治每一瞎眼，傾注屬天光芒。 |
He comes from thickest films of vice To clear the mental ray, And on the eyeballs of the blind To pour celestial day. |
| 4 | 祂來纏裹破碎心靈，醫治憂傷心魂； 祂來豐富所有貧窮，廣賜萬福厚恩。 |
He comes the broken heart to bind, The bleeding soul to cure, And with the treasures of his grace, T’enrich the humble poor. |
| 5 | 祂吹銀號高聲宣揚，上主偉大禧年； 我眾罪債全得豁免，基業得贖完全。 |
His silver trumpets publish loud The Lord’s high jubilee; Our debts are all remitted now, Our heritage is free. |
| 6 | 歡迎歡迎和平之君，和散那聲嘹亮； 天庭迴響救主尊名，永遠配受頌揚。 |
Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace, Your welcome shall proclaim, And Heav’n’s eternal arches ring With your beloved name. |
