The lord at first did adam make
起初上帝创造亚当
Out of the dust and clay
用尘土塑造他形骸
And in his nostrils breathed life
将生命气息吹入他鼻中
Even as the scriptures day
正如圣经所记载
And then in eden's paradise
而后在伊甸乐园里
He placed him to dwell
安置他安居其中
That he within it should remain
命他守护这片净土
To dress and keep it well
精心照料耕种
Now let good christians all begin
愿所有虔诚基督徒此刻启程
An holy life to live
开始圣洁的生活
And to rejoice and merry be
满怀欢欣与喜乐
For this is christmas eve
因这是圣诞前夜
And then within the garden he
而后他被安置在园中
Was commanded to stay
奉命在此停留
And unto him in commandment
主向他颁布诫命
These words the lord did say
如此话语郑重宣告
The fruit which in the garden grows
园中累累果实累累
To thee shall be for meet
皆可任你采撷品尝
Except the tree in the midst thereof
唯独中央那棵圣树
Of which thou shalt not east
禁果万不可轻尝

And to rejoice and merry be
满怀欢欣与喜乐
For this is christmas eve

Or do it them come nigh
或靠近那棵树木
For if that thou doth eat thereof
倘若你胆敢摘食
Then surely thou shalt die
必将面临死亡
But adam he did take no heed
但亚当置若罔闻
Unto that only thing
无视这唯一禁令
But did transgress god's holy law
竟违背神圣律法
And so was wrapt in sin
终堕入罪恶深渊

Lost man for to restore
为救赎迷途之人
And then for to redeem our souls

From death and hellish thrall

He said his own dear son should be
