你知道嗎?(普通話)



節錄自杏林子女士作品<<凱歌集>>中的<<你知道嗎?>>        
曲:許紫燕
 詞:杏林子

你知道嗎?蠟燭要經過燃燒才會發光,
橄欖要經過壓榨才會出油,
美酒要經過醖釀才會芬芳,
杮子要經過風霜才會香甜。

你知道嗎?金子要經過提煉才見精純,
鑽石要經過琢磨才見光華,
寶刀要經過鍛鍊才見鋒利,
麥子要經過死亡才見重生。

天空若沒有風雨的肆虐,就顯不出彩虹的美麗。
溪流若沒有礁石的阻擋,就激不起浪花的飛舞。
小徑若不是曲折隱密,就顯不出它的幽靜。
梅花不經一番寒風徹骨,何處聞得芳香撲鼻?

沒有經過流淚的雙目,永遠看不到人間的疾苦。
沒有經過流汗的耕作,永遠不懂收穫的歡樂。
沒有夏日炎陽的烤灼,永遠不知樹蔭的清涼。
沒有漫漫長夜的等待,永遠看不到曙光的重現。

你知道嗎?受苦愈深,離神也愈近,
環境愈刻苦,也愈使人奮發上進,
打擊愈重,也愈能造就人的信心,
世途愈坎坷,人生的閱歷也愈豐富。

你知道嗎?失敗教我們吸取經驗。
錯誤教我們學習謙遜。
挫折教我們培養勇氣。
損傷教我們懂得珍惜。

天空若沒有風雨的肆虐,就顯不出彩虹的美麗。
溪流若沒有礁石的阻擋,就激不起浪花的飛舞。
小徑若不是曲折隱密,就顯不出它的幽靜。
梅花不經一番寒風徹骨,何處聞得芳香撲鼻?

沒有經過流淚的雙目,永遠看不到人間的疾苦。
沒有經過流汗的耕作,永遠不懂收穫的歡樂。
沒有夏日炎陽的烤灼,永遠不知樹蔭的清涼。
沒有漫漫長夜的等待,永遠看不到曙光的重現。

Please take my hand (Original: Please take my hand, my Grace)



Music and lyrics by Vicky Chi Yin Hui

You are the apple of my eye,
The dove inside my heart,
The most precious treasure in the world
That I’ve been longing for.

United by our Lord,
We’re one from now on.
My bone of bones,
My flesh of flesh,
You made my life complete.

You are the grace that our Lord prepared for me,
The blessing that makes my cup overflows.
No matter what lies ahead,
As long as you’re by my side,
There is no mountain that’s too high,
Or river that’s too wide.

So take my hand, my dear.
I promise I’ll be true.
I’ll love you and I’ll honor you,
Until we meet our Lord.

Please take my hand, my dear.
For better or for worse,
Please promise me that you will love me
As much as I do.

Just take my hand, my dear.
I promise I’ll be true.
I’ll love you and I’ll honor you,
Until we meet our Lord.

Please take my hand, my dear.
For better or for worse,
Please promise me you’ll love me
As much as I do.

Please promise me you’ll love me
As much as I do.

My Dad, My Hero



    Music by Vicky Chi Yin Hui
Lyrics by Joanna Fuchs

   (Father Daughter Dance Song, A poem by Joanna Fuchs)

(The Bride's Version)
 
My daddy was my hero
For my very youngest years;
Daddy kept me safe and happy,
And he chased away my fears.
I watched in awe and wonder
At each manly thing he did;
Oh, I looked up to my daddy,
When I was a little kid.

My dad was still my hero,
As the years passed, one by one.
He taught important lessons,
And he took some time for fun.
He was my firm foundation;
On my dad I did depend;
He was always there for me,
My dad, my guide, my friend.

My father is my hero,
Now that I am fully grown.
I love him and respect him,
The best man I’ve ever known.
I knew when I would marry
That my husband had to be
A great man just like my father,
Dad, my hero you’ll always be.
My hero you’ll always be.

*To dear Grace and Johnson, and also your parents.  Congratulations!

My daddy was my hero
For my very youngest years;
Daddy kept me safe and happy,
And he chased away my fears.
I watched in awe and wonder
At each manly thing he did;
Oh, I looked up to my daddy,
When I was a little kid.

My dad was still my hero,
As the years passed, one by one.
He taught important lessons,
And he took some time for fun.
He was my firm foundation;
On my dad I did depend;
He was always there for me,
My dad, my guide, my friend.

My father is my hero,
Now that I am fully grown.
I love him and respect him,
The best man I’ve ever known.
When I have my own children,
All I want is just to be
A great man just like my father,
Dad, my hero you’ll always be.
My hero you’ll always be.

*I revised a bit of the original poem, so that there can be a groom's version.  Hope the poet won't mind about that.
