[English]

[中文]

In the darkness we were waiting Without hope without light

我们在黑暗中等候 毫无盼望，没有光明

Till from heaven You came running There was mercy in Your eyes

直到你从天而来 你的眼中满是怜悯

To fulfil the law and prophets To a virgin came the Word

为成全律法和先知 圣言降临童贞女

From a throne of endless glory To a cradle in the dirt

从无尽荣耀的宝座 到污秽马槽的摇篮

Praise the Father Praise the Son

赞美圣父 赞美圣子

Praise the Spirit three in one

赞美三位一体的圣灵

God of glory Majesty

荣耀的神 何等威严

Praise forever to the King of Kings

永远赞美万王之王

To reveal the kingdom coming And to reconcile the lost

为彰显国度降临 为使失丧者与神和好

To redeem the whole creation You did not despise the cross

为救赎整个受造物 你不轻看十字架

For even in Your suffering You saw to the other side

即使在你的苦难中 你仍看到另一面

Knowing this was our salvation Jesus for our sake You died

知道这是我们的救恩 耶稣，你为我们而死

Praise the Father Praise the Son

赞美圣父 赞美圣子

Praise the Spirit three in one

赞美三位一体的圣灵

God of glory Majesty

荣耀的神 何等威严

Praise forever to the King of Kings

永远赞美万王之王

And the morning that You rose All of heaven held its breath

在你复活的早晨 整个天堂屏息凝神

Till that stone was moved for good For the Lamb had conquered death

直到那石头被挪开 羔羊已战胜死亡

And the dead rose from their tombs And the angels stood in awe

死人从坟墓中复活 天使们肃然起敬

For the souls of all who’d come To the Father are restored

所有归向圣父的灵魂 都已得到恢复

And the Church of Christ was born Then the Spirit lit the flame

基督的教会诞生 圣灵点燃火焰

Now this gospel truth of old Shall not kneel shall not faint

古老福音的真理 永不屈服，永不衰弱

By His blood and in His Name In His freedom I am free

因祂的血，奉祂的名 在祂的自由里，我得自由

For the love of Jesus Christ Who has resurrected me

因着耶稣基督的爱 祂已使我复活

Praise the Father Praise the Son

赞美圣父 赞美圣子

Praise the Spirit three in one

赞美三位一体的圣灵

God of glory Majesty

荣耀的神 何等威严

Praise forever to the King of Kings

永远赞美万王之王

Praise the Father Praise the Son

赞美圣父 赞美圣子

Praise the Spirit three in one

赞美三位一体的圣灵

God of glory Majesty

荣耀的神 何等威严

Praise forever to the King of Kings
