第三部——永远的荣耀

45．独唱曲

　　我知道我的救赎主活着，末了必站立在地上。我这皮肉灭绝之后，我必在肉体之外得见神。

　　基督已经从死里复活，成为睡了之人初熟的果子。（伯19：25，26，林前15：20）

For I know that my Redeemer lives, and He shall stand at last on the earth; And after my skin is destroyed, this I know, that in my flesh I shall see God.

But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

46．合唱

　　死既是因一人而来，死人复活也是因一人而来。在亚当里众人都死了；照样，在基督里众人也都要复活。（林前15：21/22）

For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.

47．朗诵调

　　我如今把一件奥秘的事告诉你们，我们不是都要睡觉，乃是都要改变，就在一霎时，眨眼之间，号筒末次吹响的时候。（林前15：51/52）

Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.

48．独唱曲

　　因号筒要响，死人要复活成为不朽坏的，我们也要改变。（林前15：52）

For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

49．朗诵调

　　那时经上所记，死被得胜吞灭的话就应验了。（林前15：54）

So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

50．二重唱

　　死啊，你得胜的权势在哪里？

死啊，你的毒钩在哪里？

死的毒钩就是罪，罪的权势就是律法。（林前15：55-56）

O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.

51．合唱

　　感谢神，使我们借着我们的主耶稣基督得胜。（林前15：57）

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

52．独唱曲

　　神若帮助我们，谁能敌挡我们呢？谁能控告神所拣选的人呢？有神称他们为义了。谁能定他们的罪呢？有基督耶稣已经死了，而且从死里复活，现今在神的右边，也替我们祈求。（罗8：31，33，34）

If God is for us, who can be against us? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

53．合唱

　　曾被杀的羔羊，用自己的血买了人来归于神，是配得权柄、丰富、智慧、能力、尊贵、荣耀、颂赞的。……

但愿颂赞、尊贵、荣耀、权势都归给坐在宝座的和羔羊，直到永永远远。……

　　阿们。……（启5：12，9，13，14）

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain and have redeemed us to God by Your blood to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honor and glory and blessing! ……

Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever!

Amen!
