Kum 2003 khan Churachandpur-a in bawla kan um lai ICI nuhmei inkhawmpuiin 1873-a Horatio Gates Spafford hla phuok Kristien Hla bu No. 355, “A thra ie” ti kha hlapawl inruolsiekna dingin an hmang a.

Hi hla hi Atlantic Tuipui chunga lusun beidonga an zin laia a phuok a nih:

When peace, like a river, attended my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
“It is well, it is well with my soul.”

Hi châng hmasa taka a hril hi Getsemani huona lungngaia Isu a trongtrai laia a hril, “keima thu ni loin nangma thu ni lem raw se” (Luka 22:42) ti ang char kha a nih. Thlamuongna le lawmnain an lo hmuok amanih, lungngaina le beidongna tuifawn insok buon buonin an lo hmuok amanih a ni khomin, ama chan dinga Pathienin a ruotpek a ni phot chun a ieng lem lem khom thra tiin a pom thlap vong thu chu hi hla chânga hin a hril a nih. “Pathien hmangaituhai, aman a ruot anga a kohai ta ding chun iengkimah an thratna dingin a thawpek hlak” (Rom 8:28) ti kha a tak takin a nunah a lak lut a nih. Chuong anga hla ropui chu ei hla buah,
