Child, amid the flowers at play,

孩子，你在花丛间玩耍，

While the red light fades away;

红色灯火，落入黯淡，

Mother, with thine earnest eye,

妈妈回应，你殷切目光，

Ever following silently;

默默守护在，你的身旁。

Father, by the breeze at eve

圣诞夜，微风拂煦，

Called thy harvest work to leave;

爸爸离开家，他要工作，

Pray! Ere yet the dark hours be,

圣父呀！穿越荒凉的别离，

Lift the heart, and bend the knee.

我的心在颤栗，默默祷告。

Traveler, in the stranger's land,

孑然一身，走向陌生土地，

Far from thine own household band;

远远告别，温暖清馨家庭，

Mourner, haunted by the tone Of a voice from this world gone;

悲哀萦绕，欢歌笑语走远，孤单魂灵，与这个世界再见。

Captive, in whose narrow cell

船舱狭仄，无奈秋叶飘零，

Sunshine hath not leave to dwell;

阳光似乎，难得挽住时光，

Sailor, on the darkening sea;

水手，漂泊在黢黑的海面，

Lift the heart and bend the knee.

我的心在颤栗，默默祷告。

Warrior, that from battle won,

战士，从胜利的战场凯旋，

Breathest now at set of sun;

正是日落夕阳，畅舒胸臆。

Woman, o'er the lowly slain

女人哭泣，为卑微生命的消失，

Weeping on his burial plain;

海上魂灵，究竟何处安依？

Ye that triumph, ye that sigh,

你的荣归，你的深深叹息，

Kindred by one holy tie,

家族的神圣血脉，血浓于水。

Heaven's first star alike ye see;

你看见，天空升起第一颗星，

Lift the heart, and bend the knee.

我的心在颤栗，默默祷告。
