Let folly praise that fancy loves,

I praise and love that Child whose heart no thought,

whose tongue no word,

Whose hand no deed defiled.

I praise Him most, love Him best,

all praise and love are His,

While Him I love, in Him I live,

And cannot live amiss.

Love’s sweetest mark, laud’s highest theme,

The most desired light, to love Him, life, to leave Him,

death, to live in Him, delight.

He mine gift I His by debt,

Thus each to other due,

first friend He was best friend He is,

All times with try Him true.

Though young, yet wise, though small, yet strong,

though man, yet God He is.

As wise He knows, as strong He can,

As God He loves to bless.

His knowledge rules, His strength defends,

His love doth cherish all, His birth our joy,

His life our light, His death, our all in all.

Amen.

 

以純真的讚美與愛，

我讚美那稚氣的孩子，

那沉默的孩子，

那純潔的孩子。

我給祂最大的讚美，最深的愛，

所有讚美和愛也是祂的，

當我愛祂時我就住在祂裏面，

安穩地住在祂裏面。

愛的最甜蜜印記，頌讚的最高主體，

最渴望的光，愛祂，生命，交托祂，

死亡，要喜樂地在祂裏面活着。

祂是我的禮物，我虧欠祂。

祂最好的也留給我，

祂是我第一個朋友，也是我最好的朋友，

我時刻也對祂誠實。

雖然年輕，卻睿智，身體雖小，卻強壯，

雖然是人，卻是神，

全知，全能，

主愛世人。

祂的知識掌管，祂的力量保守，

祂的愛疼惜一切，祂的降生是世人的喜悅，

祂的生命是我們的光，祂的死亡造就我們。

阿門。
