歌词
One day, I saw a man
一天，我看见一个男人
Dressed in rags, with a staff in his hand
衣衫褴褛，手中拿杖
Begging for a penny to survive
乞求一便士只为活下去
How poor a man can be
如此可怜的人啊
I gave him hospitality
我盛情款待了他
A room, a bed, and lots of food to eat
一间房，一张床，和足以度日的食物
Still, I hear his last few words
尽管如此，我还是听到了他的弥留之际的话语
"I can never return what you've done
“你所行的善事，我无以为报
But heaven will remember and repay"
但天国会记住，必然报答你”
Fifty years had gone since I saw him
自从我见到他以来，五十年过去了
I was dying and I'd soon be dead
我已是风烛残年，苟延残喘
Three angels stood in front of my bed
三位天使站在我的床前
The first one, she said to me, "Don't be afraid
第一位天使，她对我说：“不必害怕
I'll give you immortality and grace for your soul"
我将予你永生，赐你灵魂以恩典”
The second had eyes of gold, she gave me my wings
第二位天使，拥有金灿的双眸，她赐予我翅膀
The third gave all wisdom an angel could bring to me
第三位天使，使我被智慧的灵充满，不遗余力
One day, I saw a man
一天，我看见一个男人
Dressed in rags, with a staff in his hand
衣衫褴褛，手中拿杖
Begging for a penny to survive
乞求一便士只为活下去
How poor a man can be
如此可怜的人啊
I gave him hospitality
我盛情款待了他
A room, a bed, and lots of food to eat
一间房，一张床，和足以度日的食物
I joined with my destiny, eternally
我奉主诫命，直到永远
I knew I was born again, an angel to be
我蒙了重生，成为天使
A vision beyond my dreams called me, by name
那梦外的异象召唤我，直呼我名
So in devotion, I spread my wings
于是我怀着虔诚的心，高张翅膀
To heaven, I'd came to stay
去往天国，久居于此
