赞美创造主!

早安你好,我的朋友们!

今早这首诗歌,是赞美诗338首,第三段第一句原本是“Join hands then,brothers of the faith",后来被美国卫理公会的Lawrence Stookey (b. 1937)重写成 “ Join hands, disciples of the faith,为的是要能充分反映男女性别平等价值观及表达出加拉太书3:28强调的教会合一精神。附上的视频也充分表达出此诗歌的内容。


History of Hymns | GBOD | Equipping World-Changing Disciples

1 In Christ there is no east or west,
in him no south or north,
but one great fellowship of love
throughout the whole wide earth.
2 In Christ shall true hearts everywhere
their high communion find;
his service is the golden cord
close-binding humankind.
3 Join hands, disciples of the faith,
whate'er your race may be.
All children of the living God
are surely kin to me.
4 In Christ now meet both east and west;
in him meet south and north.
All Christly souls are one in him
throughout the whole wide earth.
