The Old Rugged Cross 高舉十架
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
故我最愛高舉十字架,
直到在主台前見主面;
我一生要背負十字架;
將來可換得公義冠冕。

Piano Duet Series 鋼琴四手聯彈系列 – Book 30
Thanks the Lord that Piano Duet Series Book 30 “Thanks to God” is out now. This will be last book for this series. Hopefully in the near future I will have time to finish the remaining hymns from the hymn book to complete the cycle. Sincerely wish any budding pianists to have a go at these piano duets at leisure for practice and fun. Praise the Lord!
Piano Duet Series 鋼琴四手聯彈系列 – Book 30
Thanks and praises to our heavenly Father that the last hymn no. 300 of the Piano Duet Series Book 30 has now been completed. Since starting the first book back in July 2017 for my son, on and off, with the help of the Lord I managed to keep it going as planned to complete a series of books, each one based on a theme and comprised of 10 hymns. The piano duet series started off with no. 001 “He Leadeth Me” all the way and after 4 years, it concluded with no. 300 “Thanks to God”.
Also thanks the Lord that not only my own children have the chance to try these out, I use these as teaching materials for my piano students (TJC members and non TJC members) to learn as homework as well as quick-study and sight-reading practices for advance students. An excellent opportunity to help our younger members to know and appreciate our hymns. Furthermore, a chance to introduce our church and preach to non TJC members.
May the Lord continue to guide this music ministry work. All glory and honour be unto our one true God.

I’ll Put Jesus First 我主是我生命標竿 [Hymn no. 380]
Music by James D. Murch
arr. Andrew Hsu
I have a good memory of this hymn from young. Not long after both my brother and myself started to learn the piano, my dad played this hymn on the piano. When my dad had a break returning home from attending theological training from Taiwan, he sat at the piano and play this hymn. Quite easy to learn as the right hand mainly has chords of 3rds and 6ths. Not a long hymn, slow tempo and is in the key of C major.
No dynamic markings are needed in the piece as the music and lyrics speak for itself – Our Lord God is our refuge and a place of shelter for us all.
