Love's banner all unfurled; 爱的旗帜都打出;

And still their heavenly music floats 而且他们还在天上漂浮的音乐

Over all the weary world. 在所有的疲惫的世界。

Above its sad and lowly plains 上面的难过和低平原

Old echoes plaintive ring, 旧呼应哀怨环，

And ever over its Babel sounds 与以往任何时候都超过了巴贝尔的声音

Yet with the woes of sin and strife 然而，随着罪和内乱的困境

And man at war with man hears not 而男人与男人的战争听不

The love-song which they bring; 原来爱情的歌，他们带来的;

O! hush the noise, ye men of strife, 哦！嘘噪声，男人纷争你们，

Whose forms are bending low, 其形式低垂，

Who toil along the climbing way 谁沿着登山路劳碌

With painful steps and slow; 痛苦的步骤和速度慢;

Look now! for glad and golden hours 看看吧！在高兴和黄金小时

Come swiftly on the wing; 很快来到机翼上;

O rest beside the weary road 疲惫的公路旁休息Ò

By prophets seen of old, 由可见的老先知，

When with the ever-circling years 当不断盘旋多年

Shall come the time foretold, 要来预言的时候，

When the new heaven and earth shall own 当新的天地将拥有

The Prince of Peace their King, 和平之君他们的国王，

And the whole world send back the song 和整个世界发出的乐曲
