I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year,

“Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.”

Lux aeterna.

 

“Go out into the darkness,

and put your hand into the hand of God.

That shall be to you better than light,

and safer than a known way! ”

 

So I went forth and finding the hand of God,

trod gladly into the night.

Lux aeterna.

 

我對站在年度之門門口的男人說，

「給我一盞明燈，讓我可以安全地踏入

未知世界。」

永恆之光。

 

「走進黑暗，

並把你的手放在上帝的手中。

那樣比明燈更好，

比已知的方式更安全！」

 

所以我出去尋找上帝的手，

快樂地走進了夜晚。

永恆之光。
