Although these days a lot of churches have adopted a more contemporary worshiping-style of service; they sing songs by Chris Tomlin, Darlene Zschech, and Brian Doerksen etc..., the majority Haitian Churches in Haiti continues to worship with the traditional hymn book "Chants D'Esperance". This book is a compilation of French and Creole traditional hymns that you used to sing "long, long time ago".
This is a list of the title of some the most popular Creole hymns.

My hope is built on Nothing less
Jezi sèl inik esperans, se li sèl ki bay asirans
Trust and obey
Lè n’ap mache ak Dye nan limyè pawòl li
Oh for a thousand tongues to sing
Mwen vle mil lang pou chante byen louwanj Redanmtè mwen
Jesus keep me near the cross
Jezi kenbe m pre lakwa
When we all get to heaven
An nou chante amou Jezi, chante tandrès ak gras tou
Take my life and let it be
Pran lavi m Senyè Jezi, mwen vle konsakre l ba ou
There is a fountain
Genyen yon sous tou plen ak san
Nothing but the blood
Sak kapab lave peche m, anyen pase san Jezi Kri
All hail the power of Jesus name
Onore pisans non Jezi, tout Anj dwe fas atè
What a friend we have in Jesus
Ala yon zanmi se Jezi
We’re marching to Zion
Kite le monn byen lwen
I’d rather have Jesus
Mwen pito gen Jezi pase tout bagay
How much I owe
Lè Jezi mouri sou kalvè
When the roll is called up yonder
An nou travay pou le Senyè
Father, Lead me day by day
Senyè, kondwi mwen chak jou
Love lifted me
Mwen tap neye nan peche
Hark! The herald angels sing
Koute! Anj yo ap chante
Thanks. This is very helpful. I am a pastor who will be leading a mission trip to Haiti in less than a week, and I intend to lead them in song while I'm there. This is a huge help.

Thanks, again! Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteI recently went to Haiti and attended a church service were all there sing was acapella. There's one song they sang but I don't know the words. It sounds like they're saying " we went well" but I know those aren't the exact words. It's a slower song. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteawesome !
