Singing the Living Tradition #123
Mynsiem jingim, to wan sha nga
Mensame jinkim, t‘o’ (as in go) van sha nga
Rwai ha dohnud; ki jingpynkhih mynsiem sngewlem
Rwhy ha dohnote; key jingpenkhih mensame sngewlem
Beh ha ka lyer, per ha duriaw
Beh ha ka layer, pair ha doreow
Khih ha lynghoh; ban pynwan dur jingim ba hok
Khih ha length-hoh; band penvan door jink-im ba hock
Thied bat ia nga, thabniang pynlait
Thade(as in blade) bat ya nga, thabniang penlight
Mynsiem jingim wan sha nga wan sha nga.
Mensame jinkim, van sha nga van sha nga.

My life is like a little boat,
Upon a mighty river;
It rocks and sways but keeps afloat,
And swift the current ever.
Chorus: Asking not to know the way,
Wishing not to turn or stay,
Floating ever night and day,
Onward to the ocean.
Sometimes the skies are soft and fair,
And bright the summer weather,
And loving voices fill the air,
As boats glide on together.
Chorus
Sometimes the skies are dark as night,
And not a star shines o’er me;
It’s often hard to steer aright,
When rocks are just before me.
Chorus
And yet I know the Love, that guides,
The boat upon the river,
Will keep me safe whate’er betides,
Forever and forever.

Ja-nai ha jing-ieit, jing-khuid ba ka bor.

God be with you till we meet again!
By His counsels guide, uphold you,
With His sheep securely fold you:
God be with you till we meet again!
Chorus:-- Till we meet! . . . Till we meet! . .
Till we meet in union sweet; . .
Till we meet! . . Till we meet! . .
God be with you till we meet again!
God be with you till we meet again
‘Neath His wings protecting hide you,
Daily manna still provide you;
God be with you till we meet again!
Chorus
God be with you till we meet again!
When life’s peril’s thick confound you,
Put his arm unfailing round you;
God be with you till we meet again!
Chorus
God be with you till we meet again!
Keep love’s banner floating o’er you,
Smite death’s threat’ning wave before you;
God be with you till we meet again!
