Come And See 你來看吧

Interesting Pictures-IV/有趣圖像-四
Music: Come And See by Bob Bennett
音樂: 你來看吧

歌詞 Lyrics from Gospel of John
Come and see, come and see
Come and see a Man from Heaven
Come and see, hear Him speak
He has seen the face of God

Come and see, come and see
This Jesus of Nazareth
Come and see the One that we
Have heard of all our lives

A voice crying in the wilderness
A voice from the sky loud and clear
A still, small voice deep inside
And a voice still ringing in my ear ... saying

Follow Me, Follow Me
And I will show you My Father
Follow Me and you will see
The Heavens opened wide

Come and see, come and see
Come and see this Man from Heaven
Oh, could it be? Could it be
We will see the face of God?
Oh, could it be? Could it be
We will see the face of God?

The Bay Psalm Book 海灣聖詩篇

The Bay Psalm Book was the first book printed in British North America.The book is a Psalter, first printed in 1640 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Psalms in it are metrical translations into English. The translations are not particularly polished, and none have remained in use, although some of the tunes to which they were sung have survived (for instance, "Old 100th".) However its production, just 20 years after the Pilgrims' arrival at Plymouth, Massachusetts, represents a considerable achievement. It went through several editions and remained in use for well over a century. One of eleven surviving copies of the first edition sold at auction in November 2013 for $14.2 million, a record for a printed book.

美國《海灣聖詩》獲世界最昂貴印刷物 《海灣聖詩》英譯本的歷史比美國還要悠久。
1640年出版的一本小書《海灣聖詩》(Bay Psalm Book)周二(2013年11月26日)在紐約蘇富比拍賣行拍出了1420萬美元,成為世界最昂貴印刷物。
《海灣聖詩》是在後來被稱為美國的土地上出版的首部印刷物,有「美國文學鼻祖」之稱。
《海灣聖詩》是當時住在馬薩諸塞的一群清教徒編譯出版給自己看的,而英國的清教徒是最早抵達美國的歐洲定居者之一。
這本聖詩集是原希伯來文詩篇的忠實英文翻譯版。清教徒相信,若閱讀的譯文不忠實原文,他們將無法得到救贖。
但嚴格說,《海灣聖詩》只是世界最昂貴印刷物,而非最昂貴圖書。最昂貴圖書的稱號歸於達芬奇的一本手寫記事本,該書1994年拍出了3080萬美元。
據蘇富比拍賣行介紹,買下《海灣聖詩》的是美國金融家兼慈善家戴維•魯本斯坦,他計劃把此書借給美國各地的圖書館輪流展覽。
《海灣聖詩》最初印刷了1700本,但已知的現存數量僅有11本。
一本《海灣聖詩》曾在1947年拍出了15.1萬美元,創下了當時的拍賣紀錄。
