A MOON-FESTIVAL BLESSING 中秋頌祝
 |
| The Traditional Moon Festival Tea, Cakes, and the Ancient Chinese Lotus Cross |
皓月臨中天，桂香散人間。
願主賜慈光，照拂親朋家。
團圓樂未央，平安滿萬邦。
舉盞茶清淡，共嘗餅月香。
但求十架恩，永夜映心堂。
Beneath the shining orb of harvest moon,
We lift our hearts to Thee, O Lord of Heaven and Earth.
Bestow Thy gracious light upon our kin and friends afar;
Grant them peace in their dwellings, joy in their gatherings,
And length of days to walk in Thy mercy and truth.
May the sweetness of the moon-cake and the warmth of tea
Be but a token of the greater feast of Thy Kingdom;
Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost,
One God, world without end. Amen.
- Bp. Joseph
The Missionary Diocese of East and Southeast Asia
