(What a Friend we have in Jesus)
Joseph Seriven, 1819-1886 (Pau. 18:24) _______________ Charles Crozat Converse, 1832-1918
I mawhna le i dahna teng, A pua ding Jesuh i lawm!
Pasian kiangah i sapnateng, Thum theih na’ng thupha a om.
Lungnopna tampi i taan a, Thuak loh ding i thuak hi.
Na khempeuhte Pasian kiangah, Thum in i koh loh hang hi.
Ze-et bawlsiat ahi zongin, Lungkhamna khat peuh om maw;
Cik mah ciang lungkia ngei loin, Topa kiangah ko in aw.
Dahteng thuakpih nuam Jesuh bang,
Lawm man dang mu zo ding maw;
Jesuh’n thei khin i sap bangbang, Ama kiangah ko in aw.
Lungkhamna van-gik bang lel in, zawngkhal in na thanem maw;
Manpha Honpa i belh hi in, Ama kiang thungen in aw.
Mi’n hong simmawh hong huat ciangin, Jesuh kiang i pai ding hi.
A ang sung hong pom hong dal in, Lungnopna hong pia ding hi. CKZ 34.1
