Attendees believed that the Hokkien Hymns are the product of the indigenization movement of Christianity in China, and have had positive impacts on spreading Christianity in Fujian Province.

 

However, the Hokkien Hymns with a history of over a hundred years are in need of further creation and revision, since many changes in time, culture, language and words have occurred. To satisfy the needs of preaching gospel in the new era, further revision of Hokkien Hymns is the common expectation of staff members of Fujian CC&TSPM, as the Hymns act as a vivid practice to contextualize Christian sacred music in the province.
