Never so lovely a child as he,

Born in a stable lowly.

Never a face so fair to see,

Child of all Most Holy.

Humble His Birth,

yet King to be,

Never a child as He.

Out on the hillside shepherds did pray;

Wise men their gifts were bringing,

Led by a star to where he lay,

Child of the angels singing,

Never a child as he.

Never on Earth a night like this,

Angels and men in chorus.

Never a birth awesome as His;

Heaven is open’d before us.

God’s own son abiding here,

Never a gift so dear.

Never a child as He.

 

這嬰孩真是前所未見地美好

祂就誕生在那卑微的馬廄裡

人們沒見過如此悅目的臉龐

祂正是天父之子

謙遜地降臨於此

可祂是未來的王

這嬰孩真是前所未見

牧羊人在曠野中祈禱

智者帶上豐厚的禮物

一路跟隨星星的軌跡

來到新生王跟前朝聖

天使頌讚上帝的榮耀

這嬰孩真是前所未見

這夜晚真是前所未見

天使與世人齊聲歡唱

這降生真是前所未見

輝煌天國之門已開啟

神的兒子便居住於此

這厚禮真是前所未見

這嬰孩真是前所未見
