I will preach in the service and the sermon will on H.K.Sigh’s understand of the nature vis-à-vis Khasi Pnar concept of Mother Nature. I will give you a clue, the sermon is based on the hymn that HK Sigh himself composed; hymn no 61. This is another new study that show how HKS was influenced by the indigenous concept of nature. Wish me luck. Sorry you will not be there to hear it. But I will post in on my blog.

To rwai ia U Blei, Trai ki bneng bad khyndew
Ia jingstad bakhraw jong U ym lah ban thew
Ki jingthaw baroh ha pyrthei ne ha bneng,
Ki pynpaw ia ka burom jong U Kylleng.

To rwai ia U Blei, Trai ki khlur bad ki bnai
Ha U dap tang Burom, ka Hok bad Jingshai
Kiei kiei baroh kiba ngi iohi,
Ula bun khnang ban ai jinghikai ia ngi.
