Fujian Theological Seminary Spreads Original Sacred Music Compositions

福建神学院开展原创圣乐作品传唱活动。

据中国基督教两会，8月5日至6日，福建神学院组织部分师生前往福州、泉州、莆田教会开展福建省“解经讲经用经”中国化系列活动——原创圣乐作品传唱活动。

学院诗班在各地教会崇拜中参与诗班献唱环节，献唱原创歌曲《始终一仆人》《单单求告你》等曲目。其中《始终一仆人》是神学院院训歌，不仅表达出了福建神神学院师生的侍奉情怀与心志，更突出了当代基督徒应有的精神风貌。《单单求告你》唱出了对主的仰望和顺服，并感谢主的旨意成就及洪恩沛降。

开展原创圣乐作品传唱活动可以将福建省基督教圣乐中国化的成果传递到基层教会中。

Fujian Theological Seminary has initiated an endeavor to spread original sacred music compositions in churches situated in different locales.

From August 5th to 6th, as part of an event that centers on the interpretation, exposition, and application of the Bible within the Chinese context, the seminary choir ventured to churches located in the cities of Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and Putian, reported CCC&TSPM.

During these visits, they presented original songs such as "Always a Servant" and "Solely to Call Upon You." Serving as the seminary's motto song, "Always a Servant" not only underscores the commitment and devotion of the faculty and students of the institution but also accentuates the spiritual disposition anticipated from contemporary Christians. Through the hymn entitled "Solely to Call Upon You," they lyrically expressed their aspiration and obedience to the Lord, offering gratitude for His benevolent will and redemptive grace.

Utilizing this event, the achievements in sinicizing sacred music within Fujian Province could be disseminated to grassroots churches.
