O God, Our Help in Ages Past
千古保障
Issac Watts
- O God, our help in a-ges past, Our hope for years to come,
Our shel-ter from the strom-y blast, And our e-ter-nal home.
- Un-der the shad-ow of Thy throne Thy saints have dwelt se-cure;
Suf-fi-cient is thine arm a-lone, And our de-fense is sure.
- Be-fore the hills in or-der stood, Or earth re-ceived her frame,
From ev-er-last-ing Thou art God, To end-less years the same.
- A thou-sand a-ges in Thy sight Are like an eve-ning gone,
Short as the watch that ends the night Be-fore the ris-ing sun.
- Time, like an ev-er-roll-ing stream, Bears all its sons a-way:
They fly, for-got-ten, as a dream dies at the o-p'ning day
O God, our help in a-ges past, Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while life shall last And our e-ter-nal home.
(一)
真神是人千古保障,是人將來希望,
是人居所抵禦風暴,是人永遠家鄉。
(二)
在主寶座蔭庇之下,信徒一同安居,
惟賴真神膀臂保護,永遠平安無慮。
(三)
山川尚未立定以先,大地尚未形成,
遠自太初祢便是神,亙古直到永恆。
(四)
在神眼中,億千萬年恍若人間隔宿,
恍若初聞子夜鐘聲,轉瞬東方日出。
(五)
時間正似大江流水,浪淘萬象眾生,
轉瞬飛逝,恍若夢境,朝來不留餘痕。
(六)
真神是我千古保障,是我將來希望,
是我今生的保衛者,是我永遠家鄉。
