"nearer,my god,to thee" words by mrs. sarah f. adams - 1841. melody by lowell mason - 1859. nearer, my god, to thee, nearer to thee! even though it be a cross that ra**eth me; still all my song shall be... nearer, my god, to thee, nearer to thee! though like the wanderer, the sun gone down, darkness be over me, my rest a stone; yet in my dreams i'd be... nearer, my god, to thee, nearer to thee! there let the way appear, steps unto he**en; all that thou sendest me in mercy given; angels to beckon me... nearer, my god, to thee, nearer to thee! then with my waking thoughts bright with thy pra**e, out of my stony griefs bethel i'll ra**e; so by my woes to be... nearer, my god,to thee nearer to thee! or if on joyful wing, cle**ing the sky, sun, moon and stars forgot, upward i fly; still all my song shall be... nearer, my god, to thee, nearer to thee. 这是歌词!还有历史上谱写《nearer my god to thee》的是lowell mason,李叔同有部叫《化身》的合唱用的就是这首曲子的曲调,楼主可以自己搜搜。而mason lowell是美国管风琴家,下面是 lowell mason的介绍! 洛厄尔·梅森(lowell mason, 1792-1872),是美国长老会的一位伟大的赞美诗曲谱创作家,曾在许多教堂中任圣诗班指挥;他在美国波士顿创建了波士顿音乐学院,培训过许多儿童歌手;他也是美国“亨德尔和海顿学会”的**。他所写的赞美诗曲调达1126首,改编作品有496首,至今仍广泛地在教会中咏唱。 《普世欢腾》(joy to the world)是一首极受人们欢迎和喜爱的圣诞颂歌。曲调原名为《安提阿》(antioch),是梅森运用亨德尔(georg friedrich handel, 1685-1759)的清唱剧《弥赛亚》(messiah)中第17曲合唱唱段《荣耀归主》(glory to god in the highest)中的一些主题改编而来,创作于1839年。梅森编成的这首新的赞美诗曲调,传递着欢乐和爱代替罪恶和悲哀的欢腾之情。 这首作品的唱词,是英国近代圣诗之父伊撒·瓦茨(**aac watts, 1674-1748)所写的一首非常著名的的圣诗。《普世欢腾》是他的代表作,他更加全面深刻地领会圣经的内涵,冲出原有的局限,以新约的语言,仿写旧约的诗篇。他根据诗篇第98篇1、3、6等节写成第一节、第二节,然后加上一段**教的福音信息,最后又回到诗篇第98篇第9节完成全诗。 全诗如下: joy to the world! the lord ** come, let earth receive her king, let every heart prepare him room, and he**en and nature sing, and he**en and nature sing, and he**en, and he**en, and nature sing. joy to the world! the s**iour reigns, let men their songs employ, while fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains, repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy, repeat, repeat the sounding joy. no more let sins and sorrows grow, nor thorns infest the ground, he comes to make h** blessings flow, far as the curse ** found, far as the curse ** found, far as, far as, the curse ** found. he rules the world with truth and grace, and makes the nations prove, the glories of h** righteousness, and wonders of h** love, and wonders of h** love, and wonders, wonders, of h** love. 附:mason lowell的介绍: mason, lowell(梅森·洛厄尔)(1792-1872)美国管风琴家。丹尼尔·梅森的祖父,曾参加亨德尔与海顿协会的活动。致力于中小学音乐教育。 20210311
