The Things That Shall Never Die

那些永不消逝的

The pure, the bright, the beautiful,

That stirred our hearts in youth,

The impulses to wordless prayer,

The dreams of love and truth;

The longing after something's lost,

The spirit's yearning cry,

The striving after better hopes —

These things can never die.

The timid hand stretched forth to aid,

A brother in his need,

A kindly word in grief’s dark hour

That proves a friend indeed;

The plea for mercy softly breathed,

When justice threatens nigh ,

The sorrow of a contrite heart —

These things shall never die.

Let nothing pass for every hand

Must find some work to do;

Lose not a chance to waken love —

Be firm, and just, and true:

So shall a light that cannot fade

Beam on thee from on high.

And angel voices say to thee —

These things shall never die.

震撼着年轻心灵的

纯洁、辉煌和美丽，

不时涌上心头的无言的祷告，

爱与真理的梦想；

失去后的惋惜与渴望，

灵魂的深切呼喊，

为更美好的希望而付出的辛劳，

这些永远不会消逝。

羞怯地伸手相助，

一个需要帮助的兄弟，

悲伤、困难时一句亲切的话，

足以证明患难见知己；

轻声乞求的怜悯，

在审判临近的时候，

懊悔的心多么伤感——

这些永远不会消逝。

尽你所能在人间传递的温情，

抓住的唤起爱的良机——

坚定、正直、忠诚的品性，

那道不熄的光芒，

永远高高地照在头顶上，

对你说话的天使的声音——

这些永远不会消逝。
