The sun has gone up, and there are millions of chasms.
The wind is blowing gently, the flowers are smiling,
The brook is murmuring, the birds are chattering.
Ah! The morning light is beautiful!
Little children, they rise early, and when they are dressed, they pray:
First, bless my country, where my countrymen love each other and believe in the truth;
then bless my family, where my parents and siblings are well.
Bless me, too, for I have a good heart and a good hand.
For the good of man, and the glory of God;
Gentle and upright, and a bright light that shines in every direction.
Ah! How beautiful is the morning light!

When the Rainbow Comes - Recitation
Anonymous
(I)
When the Rainbow Comes
I think of Noah's ark
Three hundred and sixty-five days and nights
It was adrift upon a surging torrent
And at last--
There was no doubt that it would come to pass.
At last--
The carrier pigeon brought back a fresh olive leaf
Telling him--
The earth had reappeared as a green state
The flood waters had completely receded
Noah's family and the living creatures in the Ark Noah's family and all the living creatures in the boat
had obeyed the command to return to the earth
each in his own way
and a new life had begun
Noah's first order of business--
building an altar and offering sacrifices to the LORD God
sacrifices that smelled good from the fire
and Noah's first task was to build an altar and offer a sacrifice to God. The LORD accepted Noah's offering
He sent a word of grace to mankind
From now on
No longer will the earth be cursed on account of man
No longer will the waters of the floods
Flood the land
Cold comes in and heat goes out
Autumn harvests and winter harvests
The four seasons of the day and of the night
The fruits and grains are fragrant
This is the first of the four seasons of the year.
This rainbow will be remembered
For generations to come
(2)
When the rainbow appeared
I thought of the city of Bethlehem
On that quiet night
The Son of God, Jesus, was born here
He is the bright star
High up in the heavens
He is The Prince of Peace
Bringing the Gospel to all men
He is the reappearance of the Ark for the salvation of the world
For the salvation of thousands of souls
The fulfillment of God's covenant
A further confirmation of the rainbow vow
The Lord is the ark that never sank
Always saving the world
The Lord is the Ark that never sank
Always saving the world
The Lord is the Ark that never sank
All the time. Save the world
Until that gospel is preached in all the world
And all the nations turn to the true God
He wills that all men should repent
And wills that none should perish
(3)
When the rainbow appeared
And a noise came to my ears
What -
The end has come
The destruction of the world
The resurrection and ascension of the Lord
will be followed by the second coming of the Lord on such and such a day and such and such a month
They are taking advantage of localized catastrophes
They are making alarmist claims
They are taking the Bible as a "code" and making lies about it. code"
Deluding the people
They ignored the Lord's declaration in that year:
Neither the Son knoweth that day or that hour
But the Father knoweth.
They set aside the rainbow
of God's covenant with man
and talk of what-
The flood will destroy the world again
The earth is about to sink
The ark is a foreshadow of the Christ
The rainbow is a sign of the covenant
All this
is a sign of the covenant.
All these things
were accomplished in the life of Christ
When the rainbow appears
We should be full of hope
Deeply touched by God's grace
We should be doubled in faith
To run the race that lies ahead
May the rainbow fill the sky
May the gospel be preached to all people

Resurrection and Ascension
Anonymous
Death cannot hold a holy, sinless life in custody,
and no soldier or stone can stop the Lord's resurrection and victory.
Like the morning sun from the high heavens to the earth,
The risen Savior is as the morning sun that drives away the shadows of the night.
Let grief and sorrow dissipate like smoke!
The tear-stained face is instantly overflowing with joy.
The risen Lord appeared to the disciples for forty days,
speaking of the Kingdom of God and promising the coming of the Holy Spirit in truth.
On the Mount of Olives the Savior was received by day and ascended into heaven on a cloud.
After Pentecost the disciples went out into the world to testify to the Lord.

Christ's Resurrection (Recitation Poem)
Anonymous
Traveling through a long and vast space and time,
Tracing back to history's true memories ......
Please don't let your heart be long
Depressed in grief and disappointment. >depressed in grief and disappointment,
nor gaze your eyes dully
on the desolate graveyard!
When the first rays of the morning sun on the first day of the seventh month
drive away the heaviest darkness of the pre-dawn hours,
the rolled away stones, the empty graves suggest to us
an incontrovertible truth:
Jesus Christ, risen from the dead,
has triumphed over all the powers of the underworld!
Through the cold, dreary, mournful night,
though Mary's weary face still glistened with teardrops,
the angel's words, the Savior's call
surprised her more or less!
On the road to Emmaus, the Lord talked with the two disciples
until the sun was leveled in the west,
and accepted their forced stay
and sat down with them.
And appeared many times to the disciples,
wishing them peace and blowing Reiki on them.
Gun-stabbed ribs, nail-scarred hands
Removed Thomas' straightforward skepticism.
On the hills of Galilee's covenant
The holy mission entrusted to the disciples, which we keep in mind at all times,
to proclaim the gospel to the nations,
and to witness for the Lord to the ends of the earth and the heavens!
The coming of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost
gave the church the power of resurrection and victory,
and the marvelous experience of the fullness of the Spirit
made us believe in the truth of the Lord's resurrection!
The suffering of the Church over the past 2,000 years
proves that the power of the Savior's resurrection is invincible,
and that no power can stop or stifle
the Church's everlasting youthfulness and victorious vitality.
All the persecutions of the world,
only make the Church more vigorous and prosperous;
all the attacks of heresy,
only make the Church more pure beyond measure.
We celebrate Christ's resurrection,
and shame and sorrow are changed into glory and gladness;
we sing of the Savior's triumph,
and timidity and weakness are changed into strength!

Life of Christ (Poetry Reading)

Dear Lord!
When we think of
The sufferings you went through on earth,
The sorrows you suffered in your life,
How can we not remember,
How can we not be sad,
How many psalms of your praise,
How many pieces of music of thanksgiving to you,
They are stirring in our hearts ......
You are the radiance of God's glory,
the true image of God's essence,
that you should be willing to become incarnate for us,
and humble yourself on earth.
2,000 years ago
One cold night
-it was your Christmas.
What the world greeted you huh!
You had a cold ugly manger for a bed.
Birds have nests and foxes have holes,
but the Son of Man has no place for a pillow;
From the beginning of the manger period,
thou hast counted thy sufferings,
and thou hast fled into Egypt,
to escape from Herod, who was about to kill thee.
Herod died before you returned,
and lived in a small city, Nazareth
More than you did as a child ......
You grew up with the Father's business in mind,
You grew up comprehending the Father's heart.
The lilies of the field,
The little sparrows in the sky,
all caused you to meditate.
The wise question and answer in the sanctuary truly calls for wonder!
Your wisdom and stature,
and the love of God and man for you,
all grow together ......
You were baptized in the Jordan River,
and the Holy Spirit descended upon you like a dove,
and John testified:
"Behold! the Lamb of God,
who goes out from the sin of the world."
You have fasted forty days and forty nights in the wilderness,
overcoming the temptations of the devil,
full of the power of the Holy Spirit,
preaching the gospel of the kingdom of heaven ......
O King of Glory!
Wedding Feast of Cana,
Thou didst turn the waters into wine,
The Sermon on the Mount,
Thou didst proclaim the Charter of the Kingdom of Heaven.
O Lord of life!
When thou callest,
Lazarus comes out of the grave;
when thou cursest, the fig tree withers immediately.
How many rough roads have you traveled for us!
How many sleepless nights have you stayed up for us!
How many signs and wonders have you performed for us!
How much pain and sorrow have you suffered for us!
How can we forget,
How dead the bleak night of Gethsemane
was,
how dark it was,
and how sleepy the most beloved disciples were.
Who is more lonely than you?
Who is more sorrowful than you?
Thou didst fall on thine knees, and didst taste the cup of bitterness alone,
and didst weep and lose thy voice, and didst pray three times,
and didst sweat as blood upon the ground ......
Judas, who betrayed you,
took Roman soldiers with swords and clubs
and seized you
as thieves are seized,
they struck you with their fists,
and spat in your face,
and put a crown of thorns upon your head,
and a purple robe,
and struck you with reeds on your head,
teasing you and saying,
"Congratulations, O King of the Jews."
Though you were interrogated in six chambers,
you could not be tried for the slightest sin.
You, however, suffered insults, beatings, and whippings for us
......
You carried a heavy cross for us to Mount Galilee,
You were covered with blood and bruises,
with your bloody footprints along the way!
You are like a sheep led to the slaughter,
and like a lamb at the hands of the shearer
No sound is made. ......
How can we forget
The sad sight of Golgotha,
Your holy body for us
Hung high on the cross,
Long nails pierced through your hands and feet,
Your precious blood for us dried up drop by drop,
One by one your bones were counted,
Your heart melted like wax. heart melted like wax,
The tongue was pressed against the upper chamber ......
Listen to your plea for sinners:
"Father! Forgive them,
for they know not what they do. "
What greater forgiveness can there be than this?
Where is there a more loving heart than this!
You cried out with a loud voice,
"Eloi! Eloi!
Ramasabbas majorini!"
(My God! My God!
Why have you forsaken me!)
Darken it! Sun,
such a dismal sight
none of the angels can bear to watch;
Crumble! The hillocks,
such grief,
the earth trembles and shakes;
mourn! O all the women of Jerusalem!
Weep without a sound! Mary,
How can we forget the grace of the Lord,
how can we forget His goodness,
look up! O John whom the Lord loved!
There is no fear in love.
Listen! The Lord is speaking to thee,
Under the cross, thy tears! Like water flowing from a spring ......
"It is finished!"
It was Our Lord who cried out from the cross,
The heavens were darkened and the mountains were torn apart!
The veil of the temple, from top to bottom
was split in two!
My dear Savior!
Thou hast succeeded in saving,
for all the world's sinners to perish!
You died and were buried for us,
The Holy Eucharist was laid in the tomb,
and on the third morning You rose from the dead,
victorious over Hades and over death!
You appeared to the disciples forty days and forty nights,
and ascended by day to heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God,
to be our mediator, and priest, and king,
and to prepare a place for us, and to receive us
to that sweet home.
Dear Lord!
You are our rock, our psalm, our strength,
You are our life, our joy, our hope!
But to Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be praise, honor, glory, and power
for ever and ever, Amen!

The Savior's Christmas
Wang Hongmu
And on this day of universal celebration, the nations rejoice in the birth of Christ.
The true light shines in love, and the fragrance of the breath shows the fullness of virtue.
Willing to suffer the suffering of the four courts, and not to say that it is hard to lay down one's life on the cross.
It is only righteousness to take the place of sin for others, and the world will be saved by boundless grace.
The virgin in the cowshed, the baby in the cottage.
The only son who knows the joys of heaven and earth, and the new mountains and rivers.
The Three Doctors of the Pilgrimage, and the Shepherds of the Warmth.
The gray hair is ashamed of not being able to offer good products, and the red heart is bold enough to repay God's grace.
The ten shelves of the Church were hanging over my heart, and I was happy to hear Christ's work of saving people.
Springtime brings manna to the earth, and the sunshine brings warm winds to the sky.
God had mercy on the world and gave his only son, and he had mercy on the nations and saved their children.
The old man had the will to help the world, but he was not worthy of the honor.
I will sing on this auspicious occasion, and I will give credit to God for the rain and the dew in the spring.
Three years of divine grace and holy teachings have made it possible to revitalize China.
The yellow leaves should be swept away, and the red stars in my heart are everywhere.
The civilization of the four worlds is endless.
Throughout these long and bumpy years
there have been many who have searched along the 2,000 year old road
and there have been those who have altered this glorious piece of history
and yet
the masters of history
recorded the first steps of mankind from darkness to light
Explanation
About 7-4 years ago
About 7-4 years ago
This is a story of the history of the world. four years
God's chosen people
were blessed with a glory
not seen since Adam and Eve were driven out of the Garden of Eden
and a good word of mercy and comfort
that had never been heard before
There were a few shepherds
who, in the cold windy nights
watched over the sheep that had been given to them by their master
and some of them were not able to see the light of day.
Some look up to the sky
to greet the dawn
Some gaze into the wilderness
to guard against the wild beasts
Some meditate
to trace the memory of the ancients
Ode of praise
To our heavenly Father, who is full of love
Who does not forsake the divine covenant because of the world's disobedience
Nor forgets the plan of salvation because of the world's sin. And that he did not forget the plan of salvation because of the sins of the world
Oh
Shepherds
You are the hope of the world
You are the first to come out of the darkness of the world
after the long darkness
towards the light, the truth, and eternity
Explaining
They did not let the cold
befall them. Cold
They did not leave the flock
Nor did they leave the gate of the sheep because of the intrusion of wild animals
They guarded the lovely flock with their lives
Just as they were taking their places to watch over the sheep
The door of heaven's grace suddenly opened
A strange light
shone straight down on the sheep, bringing God's glory
And the light of God's glory
went straight down on the flock, and the light of God's glory was on them. p>
shooting straight into the field where the shepherds were guarding
The shepherds were terrified at the sudden glory
some fell on their faces
some embraced one another
some sought hiding places
Joyful news
Just as they did not know what to do
The angel's face was full of glory, and he said
"Don't be afraid," he said.
"Do not be afraid, for I give you a message of great joy
for the people
because today in the city of David a Savior has been born to you
Christ the Lord
and you saw an infant child
wrapped in a cloth
in a manger
and that was the sign!
Praise
What a comfort
What a warmth
What an intriguing sound
What sincerity
What power
What a credible message
Mankind, who has slept for thousands of years
Has been awakened by the angel's tidings
This is the sign of a child
Who was wrapped in a cloth
In the manger
That is the sign
That is the sign. p>
Explanation
A short time later
they left the wilderness outside of Bethlehem
with panic and joy
and as they walked, they talked
about what had just happened
Talking
O City of Bethlehem
I sing for thee
Because of Christ's birth In thy city
I weep for thee
For thou didst not leave the Virgin a common room for her birth
How can I not grieve and weep bitterly?
O City of Bethlehem
I repent for your people
because at the birth of Christ
they did not watch
much less did they receive the Prince of Peace
O Shepherds in the wilderness
You are the elect of the elect!
Explanation
Just as they were meeting with surprise
Songs were being sung in the sky
"Glory to God in the highest
Peace on earth to those with whom he is pleased"
When the shepherds heard this glorious song
they And looking back
just then
the angels ascended to heaven on clouds of song
and urged
Shepherds
don't be deterred by the angels' beautiful song
from your search for the Holy Child
and don't forget what you have been commanded
to do. Pursuit
Go
Our shepherds
You are the names we have been pursuing for two thousand years
and the footprints we have been searching for two thousand years
We will not forget your unforgettable moments
nor the paths you have traveled
Dear shepherds
Go
Go
God will always remember you
The people you led to the light
And always, always follow your footprints
Seeking you on the path of searching

Looking forward to coming back again

The Fig Tree When it is tender and leafy,
You know that summer is near.
The discovery of the remains of the ark on Mount Ararat
was a warning letter from God to mankind.
The story of the floods that flooded the world in the old days
is not folklore,
not the vain dreams of man's childhood,
it is the real thing that did happen.
Watch out! Confused people!
Don't be busy eating, drinking, marrying and getting married!
That which the Lord has promised has not yet been accomplished,
not with delay, but with forbearance!
The heavens and the earth, which are now, will be burned with fire in the future,
and we hope for a new heaven and a new earth in which righteousness will dwell.
God will wipe away our tears, and there will be no more death.
And there shall be no more mourning, nor crying, nor pain.
Lord! You are the hope of our glory,
You are our bright morning star.
"O Lord Jesus! I will that you come."
This is the heartbeat of the saints of all ages!

A marvelous birth
Miles Cheng
Everyone keeps a diary of his or her birth in his or her heart,
and yet before the birth one does not know when or where to descend?
Only the day that Jesus was born and came into the world was
very different and exactly marvelous and auspicious.
Or in the warmth of the home, or in the hospital crib,
only the Virgin gave birth, and the stable was used as a midwifery station,
and the cold winds whistled, and there was no warm place.
Eagerly awaiting Christ's life, Spiritually thriving.

(1)
My heart is hardened,
The cold of the shadow of death freezes it;
Pray for the sunshine of truth,
Let it awaken like a spring.
(ii)
My eyes are dim,
Though I have just crossed over into life;
Move me with the Holy Spirit,
And shed tears of sorrow and remorse to wash it away.
(3)
My ears are corrupted by the world,
and the word of mercy cannot come in;
pray that Thou wouldst open them and make them clear,
and that Thou wouldst receive them by the winds of the Spirit.
(4)
The tip of my tongue is covered with the dust of lying,
and it flows outward from between my teeth;
pray that the fire of truth may scorch my lips.
Speak only Thy "new tongues" in this world.
(5)
I have delicate hands,
but they play wildly in the light of the world;
please cleanse them with spiritual water,
and from now on play songs of praise that will last for ever and ever.
(6)
I have a pair of flying feet,
but I step on a thousand miles in pursuit of the nest of drunkenness;
please stretch out Thy righteous hand,
and lead me to the way of peace and joy.
Pray that the Lord will dwell in my heart forever (recited poem)

Is this world beautiful?
Yes, it has blue seas and blue skies, waves and clouds,
rolling hills, and wilderness blooming with hundreds of flowers.
Yet it is not beautiful!
It is cluttered and filthy and corrupt,
and the earth is full of rapine, and there is no falsehood anywhere!
Is the world large?
Yes, it has many towns and cities, wide fields,
many splendid inns, and countless skyscrapers.
But it's not big, either!
It is crowded and terribly small,
and it can't even hold a tiny holy child!
Dear Lord!
You are the True Word of the Beginning and the True Light of Life,
You created all things in the world and all things in the heavens.
Because of the darkness in the hearts of men,
You came to Your own place,
and Your own people refused to take You in!
Dear Lord!
You are the Son of God, the Messiah,
You are the glorious Christ, the Prince of Peace.
But thou hast humbled thyself, and hast not been born in a magnificent palace,
nor in a wealthy house.
Dear Lord!
What is there in Paradise that tires Thee,
that Thou wouldst descend for us from the high heavens?
What is there in the world that you envy?
How could you bear a heavy cross for us,
And suffer and die and shed your blood as a ransom for us?
Dear Lord!
It is Your great love of the cross that
dissolves my hard and cold heart;
it is Your marvelous light that
removes the barriers that prevent me from knowing the truth!
Come! Come! Our dear Lord!
The doors of our hearts are wide open to You,
purify me, purify me,
with Your blood, Your Spirit, and Your word!
We do not envy the splendor of royal palaces,
nor do we heed the boasts of the rich,
we offer you steadfast love,
of mind, body, time, and talent!
Come on! Come! O our dear Lord!
Our hearts have prepared a place for you.
Please come quickly! Please come quickly!
Please dwell in the sincere, clean,
humble heart of each of us, forever.

The stars and the moon are shining at night, and the shepherds are watching the sheep.
The distant mountains and trees are a blur, and the night is as cool as water.
(2)
There is a rare sound in the sky, and the strange light is amazing.
The messenger from the sky, the Savior Jesus is coming.
(3)
Doctors of many talents saw the light of the stars, and thousands of famous camels traveled to foreign lands.
The stables worshiped the newborn King, and a petal of incense was offered to him.
(4)
The gospel is for the redemption of the nations, but the nations are not all in the capital city.
Wei Pat
When the winter snowflakes swayed
and fell in the darkness of the night,
I heard
Christmas bells drifting from afar.
When an old sister
cut a tender green olive leaf
and pasted it to my windowpane,
I smelled the breath of spring,
and the warmth of love welled up in my heart.
When the cottage of my friend's heart
finally couldn't keep the candlelight locked up,
and a ray of light
fell through from behind the thick curtains,
I couldn't help but praise the salvation of my Lord.
The sky on Christmas night,
star-studded,
silver-white world
flowed with an old song:
Peaceful night, holy night of goodness.
Christmas Message
Silent and dark is the night,
Who does not look forward to the bright and shining morning?
A harsh and cold winter,
Who does not look forward to a warm and beautiful spring?
Toward the end of the first century B.C.
Icons were losing their former power.
Greek false gods were in strife and strife,
Roman temples were in disarray.
The desert lands are clouded with sorrow,
and the despairing human race bows its head and sighs.
History has stopped moving forward,
and the world lacks the vitality it deserves.
The vast wilderness, the dreary darkness of the night,
wonderful light shone, the sound of singing rose suddenly,
and the angels delivered a -
message of great joy that concerned all the nations.
The Son of God descended in the flesh,
ending an age of obsolescence.
The birth of the Holy Child Jesus Christ
opens a new century.
Christmas night is bright (children's song)
The sky is full of stars, Christmas night is bright;
The people of the world are celebrating together, and all the creatures of the heavens are rejoicing.
The Savior left heaven and descended to the world to save sinners;
The salvation is marvelous, and the Son of God became flesh.
Day and night he preached and performed miracles, healing the sick and casting out demons to show his power;
The love of the cross is hard to measure, how can sinners not be thankful?
Celebrate Christmas, preach the gospel, everyone must believe in the true God;
Open your heart to receive the Lord, your heart will be happy and steady.
Little Bethlehem (Children's Poem)
Bethlehem is beautiful, clean and quiet,
No dreams, no fears, the stars walk quietly.
On your streets, a strange light illuminates,
Hope for the ages, fear for the living,
This night is centered in a small town!
Wonderful little child, the armies of heaven are all in reverence,
The morning stars come to worship, and give thanks to God with one voice.
I receive the Lord today, the Lord dwells in my heart forever,
Emmanuel, the fellowship of God and man,
The Father loves my little children (children's song)
The grass is green, the flowers are red, and the brooks are murmuring;
The lambs rest beside the brooks, and the Father loves my little children.
The Father loves my little children, and the Father loves my little children.
Little children, praise the Lord, His love is marvelous;
The cross gave up its life for me, and we are thankful for the Lord's work.
Do the Lord's work, don't let up, from childhood we've been favored;
Give your heart, body and mind, the Holy Spirit dwells in me forever.
