The Angel Gabriel歌词完整版
Come all you faithful Christians
That dwell here on earth,
Come celebrate the morning
Of our dear Saviour’s birth.
This is the happy morning,
This is the blessèd morn,
To save our souls from ruin,
The Son of God was born.
Behold the Angel Gabriel,
In scripture it is said,
Did with his holy message
Come to the Virgin maid:
‘Hail blest among all women!’
He thus did greet her then,
‘Lo, thou shalt be the mother
Of the Saviour of all men’.
Her time being accomplished,
She came to Bethlem,
And then was safe delivered
Of the Saviour of all men.
No princely pomp attended Him,
His honours were but small;
A manger was His cradle,
His bed an ox’s stall.
Now to him that is ascended
Let all our praises be;
May we His steps then follow,
And He our pattern be;
So when our lives are ended,
We all may hear Him call,
‘Come souls, receive the Kingdom,
Prepared for you all’.
