普天颂扬：恩临万世

恩临万世　

以色列神耶和华配受赞美称颂；

祂拯救苦困百姓脱离仇敌操控。

藉先知宣扬佳音，施恩释放子民；

神应许必要实现，赐平安与世人。

圣婴降生大卫家，上主慈爱显明；

神差救主降凡尘，领人高升天庭。

在祂前面有差使，预告白日将临；

广宣救恩的先知，主路先锋导引。

被黑暗拘禁囚奴必见太阳初升；

罪污过失蒙赦免，重获光明新生。

晨晖引导众客旅行走平安天路；

同心赞美救赎主，永颂神恩眷顾。

1 Blest be the God of Israel

who comes to set us free

and raises up new hope for us:

a Branch for David's tree.

So have the prophets long declared

that with a mighty arm

God would turn back our enemies

and all who wish us farm.

2 With promised mercy will God still

the covenant recall,

the oath once sworn to Abraham

from foes to save us all;

that we might worship without fear

and offer lives of praise,

in holiness and righteousness

to serve God all our days.

3 My child, as prophet of the Lord

you will prepare the way,

to tell God's people they are saved

from sin's eternal sway.

Then shall God's mercy from on high

shine forth and never cease

to drive away the gloom of death

and lead us into peace.
