It reminded us to rely on the Spirit of God to submit to it for God wanted us to be just like Jesus.īut as the church progressed to have an English speaking congregation, the Chinese hymns had to be translated into English, and those who did such translations understands the trade-off between preserving the content of the lyrics while preserving the same number of notes per line. To be merciful, holy, to be meek and humble just like Jesus. It is saying that God wanted us to be like Jesus. This is one of the original hymn created by the church.
