The impulses to wordless prayer, 推動著我們做無言的禱告的,

The dreams of love and truth; 讓我們夢想著愛與真理的;

The longing after something's lost, 在失去后為之感到珍惜的,

The spirit's yearning cry, 使靈魂深切地呼喊著的,

The striving after better hopes- 為了更美好的夢想而奮斗著的-

These things can never die. 這些美好不會消逝。

The timid hand stretched forth to aid 羞怯地伸出援助的手，

A brother in his need, 在你的弟兄需要的時(shí)候，

A kindly word in grief's dark hour 傷慟、困難的時(shí)候，一句親切的話

That proves a friend indeed ; 就足以證明朋友的真心;

The plea for mercy softly breathed, 輕聲地乞求憐憫，

When justice threatens nigh, 在審判臨近的時(shí)候，

The sorrow of a contrite heart- 懊悔的心有一種傷感--

And angel voices say to thee---你將聽到天使的聲音在說-----
