Returnd from Babylon by leave of Kings Thir Lords, whom God dispos'd, the house of God They first re-edifie, and for a while [ 350 ] In mean estate live moderate, till grown In wealth and multitude, factious they grow; But first among the Priests dissension springs, Men who attend the Altar, and should most Endeavour Peace: thir strife pollution brings [ 355 ] Upon the Temple it self: at last they seise The Scepter, and regard not Davids Sons, Then loose it to a stranger, that the true Anointed King Messiah might be born Barr'd of his right; yet at his Birth a Starr [ 360 ] Unseen before in Heav'n proclaims him com, And guides the Eastern Sages, who enquire His place, to offer Incense, Myrrh, and Gold; His place of birth a solemn Angel tells To simple Shepherds, keeping watch by night; [ 365 ] They gladly thither haste, and by a Quire Of squadrond Angels hear his Carol sung.

他们感动了神，得到列王主子的允许，从巴比伦回来重建神殿，暂时在粗陋的屋宇里将就住下，等到人财兴旺时，便党派之争纷起。首先在祭司们中间起了纷争，他们守护祭坛，理应致力于和平，他们却纷争，把圣殿玷污了。最后，他们竟不尊重大卫的子孙，夺取王杖，终落异邦人之手。真正君临的王弥赛亚诞生在王权旁落的时代；但他诞生时天上出现了一颗从未出现的奇星，宣布他的降临，引导东方的圣人前来奉献乳香、没药和黄金；一个庄严的天使告诉夜间看守羊群的纯朴牧人他的诞生地点，他们欣喜若狂地赶到那地方去，听到列队天使合唱的颂歌声。

作为华人所作的最大规模之合唱音乐，这部九个乐章﹝外加一首序曲﹞的巨构，无论在宏大的结构和精湛的作曲技巧上，都达到一个空前的高度；特别在二十世纪音乐以反叛为特徵的背景下，这部力作再次雄辩地证明了先辈大师的传统之永恒的生命力。
