The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need,
A kindly word in grief’s dark hour
That proves a friend indeed ;
The plea for mercy softly breathed,
When justice threatens nigh,
The sorrow of a contrite heart—
These things shall never die.
羞怯地伸出援助的手,
在你的弟兄需要的时候,
伤恸、困难的时候,一句亲切的话
就足以证明朋友的真心;
轻声地乞求怜悯,
在审判临近的时候,
懊悔的心有一种伤感——
这些美好不会消逝。
Let nothing pass for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Lose not a chance to waken love—
Be firm, and just , and true;
So shall a light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high.
And angel voices say to thee—
These things shall never die.
在人间传递温情
尽你所能地去做;
别错失了唤醒爱的良机——
为人要坚定,正直,忠诚;
因此上方照耀着你的那道光芒
就不会消失。
你将听到天使的声音在说——
这些美好不会消逝。
