Our Chief Purpose in Life

"So it may be said that the chief purpose in life, for any one of us, is to increase according to our capacity our knowledge of God by all the means we have, and to be moved by it to praise and thanks."

Verdant Taiwan
English Translation and Versification - by Joel H. Linton, A.D. 2010


Verdant gem, amidst the azure sea
Our Taiwan, most beautiful and free
Dark ages past, outlanders ruled
Now we'll build a nation great and free
A constitutional republic found
Out of many, united, we are bound
As one poeple, marshaling our worth,
Onward in strength, forging peace throughout the earth

(As with Francis Scott Key's anthem that became the national anthem of the United States, the second verse of Verdant Taiwan is less commonly sung, and expresses the song-writer's faith in God.)

Verse 2
In the beginning, God created her,
Formosa, Taiwan our treasure
God granted our ancestors there to dwell
And build a nation by His sovereign will
To Jesus Christ o'er all the nations, King
We long to make a righteous offering
Of this great land that we've been given
By showing forth love and justice
As it is in heaven
