Creator God, who shaped the earth and heavens
Your glory shines in all that you have made
You spoke the Word, who broke into the darkness
All earth replies: “majestic is your name!”

And who am I, though made below the angels
That you, my King, are mindful of my ways?
As moon and stars sing out their joyful chorus
I lift my voice to join with them in praise

Redeeming God, creation’s song fell silent
As on the cross, the Light was pierced with dark
The Word of life to death now hangs surrendered
The one who spoke out stars now breathes his last

And who am I, the lowliest of sinners
That you would pay the price my sin deserves?
My Maker scarred for those who marred his likeness
And from his wounds flows mercy unreserved

O living God! You broke the tomb in glory
Death could not hold the one who authored life!
His radiant light has shattered through our darkness
And in our hearts, his risen life now shines

And who are we, that you would call us children
And raise us up from death to life with you
Where we will sing the New Creation anthem:
“O praise the one who’s making all things new!”

And so we wait in eager expectation
And join the song as all creation groans:
“Lord, haste the Day decay is slain by glory,
The Day you call your sons and daughters home.”

創造者上帝,塑造了天地
祢的榮耀在你所創造的一切中閃耀
你說出話語,打破了黑暗
全地回應:“祢的名字是宏偉的!”

我算什麼,雖然我低於天使
祢,我的王,竟然關心我的行徑?
月亮和星星唱出歡樂的合唱
我舉起聲音與他們一同讚美

救贖的上帝,創造的歌聲沉寂
當在十字架上,光明被黑暗刺穿
生命之道在死中屈服
那位曾呼喚星辰的,如今喘息最後一口氣

我算什麼,最卑微的罪人
你竟然為我所應得的罪付上代價?
我的造物主因那些污損他形象的人而受傷
從祢的創傷中流出無保留的憐憫

哦,活著的上帝!你榮耀地打破了墳墓
死亡不能拘禁那位創作者!
祢的光輝穿透了我們的黑暗
在我們的心中,祢活的生命現在閃耀

我們算什麼,祢竟然稱我們為兒女
並使我們從死裡復活,與你同在
在那裡我們將唱起新創造的頌歌:
“哦,讚美那位使萬物更新的!”

所以我們在熱切的期待中等待
並加入歌聲,伴隨所有創造的嘆息:
“主,速來榮耀擊敗腐朽的日子,
那一天祢召集祢的兒女回家。”
