She lit a candle in a downtown cathedral 她在市中心的大教堂点燃一支蜡烛

Quietly confessing, counting on a blessing 静静地承认，指望祝福

She looked as if she had nowhere to go 她看上去仿佛她无处可去

I could see her weeping 我可以看到她哭泣

Hands together hoping you would hear... 双手合十，希望你会听到...

   

This is the time of year 这是一年的时间

We hold our families near 我们认为我们的家庭近

But God let us be a friend to the hurting 但上帝让我们成为朋友的伤害

   

Oh Emmanuel, God with us 灵光哦，上帝与我们同

Spirit revealed in us 精神揭示了我们

That we may be your hope to the world 我们可能是你希望世界

Oh Emmanuel, God with us 灵光哦，上帝与我们同

With a light to break the darkness 随着光打破黑暗

That we may show your hope to the world 我们可能会显示您希望向世界

Emmanuel, God with us 以马内利，神与我们同

Be God in us 是上帝在我们

   

I moved in closer just so I could see her face 我曾在更接近，这样我能看到她的脸

Maybe she was a mother 也许她是个母亲

Someone's only daughter 一个人的唯一的女儿

Her silver hair shimmered like the snow 她的银色头发像闪闪发光的雪

Christmas bells were ringing 圣诞钟声敲响

Now beside her kneeling I asked her name 现在，她跪身旁，我问她的名字

   

(And she said) （她说）

This was the time of year 这是一年中的时间

I had my family near 我有我的家庭近

But they've all gone and I have been so lonely 但是，他们都走了，我一直这样孤独

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

So with my family that Christmas day 所以，我的家人知道圣诞节

A girl of sixty years would laugh and play 六十年一个女孩会笑和玩

And as we watched her dance our eyes were full of tears... 当我们看着她跳舞我们的眼睛里充满了泪水......
