NEW HOPE MUSIC - Main Translation Page

We are teaching our Malay/Chinese church three New Hope songs
this coming Palm Sunday: "Hosanna (It’s Jesus!)", "Holy, Holy, Holy"
and "Hallelujah, Jesus is Lord". I have used your music before and
love what you are all doing.

We are an English speaking church but
I bet I can get your songs translated into Mandarin and Bahassa Maylay
for wider distribution. Wouldn’t it be great to have your songs sung in
the Underground church of China !? (Doug, from Malaysia)

Several gifted saints around the world
are helping to translate New Hope Music songs.
Here are a few of their translations !!

"I want to participate by trying to translate
your beautiful songs to Arabic and Tamazight,
the language that's spoken in North Africa"
(Youcef, from Algeria)

If any of you have the time and resources
to help us translate our songs into new languages,
please write to us !! (Spanish, Chinese, French,
Portuguese, African & Asian dialects...)
We want to encourage more through our songs !

UPDATE: Four have offered to translate our songs into
Yoruba & Lgbo (Nigeria), Cebuano (Philippines) & Kiswahili (Kenya)

"I can translate the songs into the Nepalese language
for our local Churches. I hope we will be able to
publish them in Hymn books, so people can use them."
(Arjun, from Nepal)

"We know and use some of your songs in our church, like...
'This Day Is Holy' and 'Search Me, O God'. We have some
brothers in our church who can translate these songs
into our local language" (Paul, from Kenya)

My wife and I are missionaries with Wycliffe Bible Translators...
I sometimes produce special videos for individuals to
help them raise financial support. At the end of this type of video I would
like to have a montage of images with a hymn as background music.

I want the words the people are singing to be in a language other than
English to illustrate the purpose of Wycliffe, translating God's Word into
all the language of the earth so people can sing praise to the Lord in the
language that speaks to their heart.

I would like to have several of the songs from Finland from your website as a resource for
a video I may produce in the future. (John, from Wycliffe Bible Translators)

Most songs copyright 1991 - 2007, Ralph Merrifield
"Rest In Me", copyright Julie Joyner 1996

Yes! I'm willing to help you translate your songs to our own dialect. so many different languages here in the Philippines and our main dialect here is TAGALOG, but i can speak Visayan languages like ILONGGO and CEBUANO fluently which is the main language in the southern part of our country. (Robert, from the Philippines)

You have our encouragement and permission
to duplicate and share these song for all "not-for-profit" purposes
(web site background, recordings, corporate worship, give-away copies).
Please contact New Hope for other uses. Thanks !!!

We are missionaries in Romania and Ukraine and use these songs in our
daily family devotion time as well as in the church here. We sing them in English and
put the translation of Romania up on the wall so the congregation knows what we are singing.

We have used quite a few of the songs from the website over the last few years. When we were
pastoring in South Dakota we used "I'm Grateful For The Cross" at each Communion service.
We continue to use this song in our devotions and in the Romanian Church where I preach.
We are also going to have "I Was Glad" translated. (this is one of my very favorites songs!)
and we have used this in all of the churches we have pastored in. "I Will Go"
is another of my favorites, as well as "By the Mercies of God"

We used "Hosanna (It's Jesus)" for our Easter Services both in South Dakota and in Minnesota.
We also have missions work in Ukraine and would like to translate some of these
songs into Russian (with your permission).

I really appreciate the Scriptural basis of the music, the spirit of worship they contain,
and the simplicity that makes them great for congregational singing, (as well as keeping
it simple enough for "simple" guitar players like myself!). (Rev. Michael, from Romania)

I do hard work for children in villages who are rejected and poor.
I love the children and care for them through Christian music.
Please pray for me, that I may do the translation of your loving songs
for Christian communities in Pakistan, as i feel it is the voice of the Holy Spirit.
May God bless you and use you for his evangelistic work throughout the world,
especially in Pakistan. (Evangelist Samson, from Pakistan)
