頌詩譯選

基督復活升天

凌風 譯

你們尋求主的謙卑人，
　　驅除所有的懼怕驚惶；
心中歡狂低頭觀看，
　　主耶穌躺臥的地方。

生命之主如此降卑，
　　何等大愛所作的奇蹟；
如此躺臥在冰冷的死地，
　　受創流血是為了你。

抬起眼睛再發歌聲，
　　我們的救主又再復生；
任憑死亡所有的閂鎖，
　　也不能把得勝的主拘禁。

祂的頭曾受辱受傷，
　　高昂在天使群眾之上，
祂曾經進入過死亡，
　　要永遠掌權統治無疆。

同主歡樂的眾聖徒，
　　來觀看我主的空墓，
也要復活與升天的主
　　同在永遠光明的國度。

Christ's Resurrection and Ascension

Ye humble souls that seek the Lord,
　　Chase all your fears away;
And bow with rapture down to see
　　The place where Jesus lay.

Thus low the Lord of Life was brought,
　　Such wonders love can do;
Thus cold in death that bosom lay,
　　Which throbbed and bled for you.

But raise your eyes and tune your songs;
　　The Saviour lives again:
Not all the bolts and bars of death
　　The Conqueror could detain.

High o'er the angelic bands He rears
　　His once dishonoured head;
And through unnumbered years He reigns,
　　Who dwelt among the dead.

With joy like His shall every saint
　　His vacant tomb survey;
Then rise with his ascending Lord
　　To realms of endless day.

Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751
English non-conformist preacher and hymn writer
