"Jaya Ho" is a Christian hymn written in the Hindi language by an unknown author. The song's Hindi title, more frequently transliterated "Jai ho" in other contexts, means "may there be victory" and is frequently used interjectively to praise God. The hymn's English title is often given as "Victory Hymn" or "Victory Be to You (God )". The hymn was popularized in the United States by Indian-born composer Victor C. Sherring. He led the group Centennial Choir of India, which performed the song in concerts and prayer services in 70 American cities from 1955–1956 to celebrate the centennial of Methodist missions in the United States. "Jaya Ho" was translated into English by Katherine R. Rohrbough in 1958. Scholars of sacred music have considered the hymn to be a praising of God and a celebration of victory in Jesus Christ. ==History== Victor C. Sherring, a composer who popularized the song, was born in 1919 in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India, and attended Methodist schools in his youth.〔 As the Centennial Choir of India director, he delivered "Jaya Ho" to the United States. From 1955–1956, in commemoration of the centennial of Methodist missions in the United States, the Centennial Choir sang the hymn during their tour of 70 cities, where they performed at prayer assemblies and concerts. "Jaya Ho", Sherring wrote, was "first included in" ''Songs of Joy from India'', an anthology of songs printed by The Centenary Music Committee in 1955–1956 in both Indian and Western musical notation. Composed in the Hindi language by an anonymous author, the hymn was translated into English by Katherine R. Rohrbough in 1958. I-to Loh performed the phonetic transcription in 1988.〔 "Jaya Ho"'s Hindi title is translated as "Victory Hymn"〔 or "Victory be to you".〔 Translated into English, it appears as hymn number 478 in the 1989 edition of the ''The United Methodist Hymnal'' and as hymn number 252〔 in the 1996 edition of ''Voices United'', the hymn and worship book of the United Church of Canada''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jaya Ho」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
