明星燦爛
明星燦爛夜深沉，伯利恒城在睡鄉﹔
野外牧人見異象，天上皎然發大光﹔
天使列隊同歌唱，牧人見狀真驚惶，
忽聞天使報喜信: “聖子耶穌降世間”
至高榮耀歸上主﹗全地人民福無疆﹗
明星燦爛夜深沉，孤燈熒熒照客窗﹔
取來舊布作襁褓，馬槽權當育兒床﹔
為欲拯救眾罪人，道成人身真理彰，
離天寶座臨塵世，人世艱辛苦備嘗﹔
至高榮耀歸上主﹗全地人民福無疆﹗
東方竟有三博士，仰瞻異星發光芒﹔
從知救主生猶太，誠心誠意願參拜，
借彼明駝千里足，跋涉荒漠朝君王，
攜來禮物敬獻上，黃金沒藥與乳香﹔
至高榮耀歸上主﹗全地人民福無疆﹗
天人相隔因罪孽，罪心潛滋道心亡﹔
我亦魔鬼擄去者，徘徊岐路無主張﹔
神己為我立善牧，我豈依舊作亡羊?
願潔我心成聖殿，莫若客店無地方﹔
願潔我心成聖殿，莫若客店無地方。
125 Midnight Sleeping Bethlehem
Lyrics:
1. Midnight Sleeping Bethlehem Bright thy stars in solemn night. Sudden glory floods thy hillside, Startled shepherds wake in fright. Angel messengers appear, Shepherd listen first in fear, Till they hear these words of cheer God own son is given here. Highest Glory Lord to the, Boundless joy to all men be.
2. Now sleeping Bethlehem, there in stable lanterns glow. Lies a holy babe midst the ox and ass, gently swathed in manger low. Heaven’s one of matchless worth, Living word through humble birth, Come to ransom sons of earth. Come to rid our soul of dearth. Highest Glory Lord to thee, boundless joy to all men be.
3. Scholars from the orient came, led from light from yon star bright. Knowing there was born from among the Jews, God of glory, God of might. Traveling miles and miles from hence, passing desert so immense. Bringing gifts of great expense, Gold and myrrh and frankincense. Highest glory Lord to thee, Boundless joy to all men be.
4. Sin has man from God disjoin, Death its fruit our lives defiled. On this night of night, Christ incarnate came, God and sinners reconciled. Christ my shepherd He must be, how can I stray from thee? Cleanse my heart a temple be, Not like the Inn no room for thee.
