牧者心聲 (From Our Pastors)

三十周年感受 – 蘇穎睿牧師

調寄：破陣子 (一)

三十年來家國 (二)
四十九里山河 (三)
鳯閣籠樓連都板 (四)
玉樹瓊枝遍呵羅 (五)
幾曾識基督？

一旦歸為神虜
那怕身心消磨
最是倉皇辭舊日 (六)
教友猶唱別離歌 (七)
垂涙對 So Sir ! (八)

(一) 破陣子乃曲名。此乃取材自李煜之『破陣子』。
(二) 家者，教會也。國者，天國也。
(三) 四十九里 (49-ners) 指舊金山。
(四) 鳯閣籠樓是指散房，窮人住的地方。都板乃唐人埠的都板街。
(五) 呵羅者，ALL也。是金山台山人的慣語。
(六) 舊日是指 2000 年我離開三藩市返香港教會事奉。
(七) 別離歌指那時為我而作之 EFC So Sir。
(八) So Sir，蘇牧師之稱謂。

堂慶主題曲 Anniversary Theme Song

Facing a Task Unfinished Lyrics

使命未完，薪火相傳 (中文版)

蘇牧師撰寫 Written by Rev. So

Background

It was written by Bishop Houghton, the Director of the China Inland Mission, in 1930s. 1930s is a very critical period to both China and the Chinese Church.

In 1931, Japanese invaded Manchuria known as the 918 episode.

In1931-1935, it was the civil war between the Communist and the Nationalist.

In 1937, the Japanese used the Marco Polo Bridge incident to start the Sino-Japanese War.

The Chinese Church suffered a lot in these years. The Anti-Christian movement in the 1920s lingered on resulting the Great Evacuation. 1/3 of the missionaries withdrew. but paradoxically, this is also a period of revival. The CIM increased by leaps and bounds though many missionaries were murdered. Dr. John Song and the Bethel Band preached the Gospel and had great impact on the entire Church. It is within such a context  that this song was written. It is a very touching song.

 

這首歌的背景

詩歌作者是中國內地會主理侯頓主教,作於上世紀三十年代.那時正值中國及中國教會極其艱難嚴竣的時候,日本在滿洲發動九一八事變。

而1931至1935年間,國民黨與共產黨正爆發內戰。

1937年.日軍以蘆溝橋事件為藉口,發動侵華戦爭。

這些年,中國教會備受沉重打擊,二十年代因大逃亡而引發反基教運動,三份一傳教工作撤離,但復興福音,這時反倒興旺起來。當時很多傳教士遭殺害,但內地會卻反而急速增長,佈道家宋尚節及聖楽團致力傳揚福音,影響當時所有教會.這首非常動人的詩歌正是其中出色的作品。

San Francisco Evangelical Free Church has been blessed to provide a spiritual home and faith community for the San Francisco Chinatown neighbor since 1987. Our presence in the community supports the church’s mission: to evangelize the Chinese community in San Francisco, to establish the believers as the disciples of Christ, to equip the disciples as servants of God, and the ultimate goal is to glorify God.

Over the coming year, SFEFC will celebrate the 30th anniversary through a number of activities. We want to make the 30th anniversary a memorable tribute, to remind us what our founding missions are, and may God continue to use us to glorify His Name in the Chinatown community!
