Finding good clips and info regarding these songs are hard to come by so I thought I would share and learn some Adobe Premiere at the same time.
These songs were used in Terrence Malick's film, 'The Thin Red Line', arguably the greatest anti-war film ever created.
The first and last renditions are featured in the film. The first three renditions are found on the no-longer-available CD "Melanesian Choirs: The Blessed Islands". The last audio clip is an orchestral rendition adapted by composer Hans Zimmer for the movie's soundtrack.
To the best of my research the words to " Jisas yu holem hand blong mi" are:
Jesus is watching over me;
Wherever I may go he is right beside me;
Jesus is watching over me;
No matter what I do his love will never cease;
My saviour and my keeper beside me;
All the blessings he has provided me;
He is there to comfort and guide me;
And his love will never cease.
'Pray for Us' appears to be the same song and I suspect might even be a transcription error on the CD track list.
' God yu tekkem laef blong mi' is from the hymn ' Take My Life and Let It Be' by Frances R. Havergal, (1874):
Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee;
Take my voice and let me sing,
Always, only for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee;
Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in endless praise;
Take my intellect and use
Every powr as Thou shalt choose.
Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart, it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store;
Take myself and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.
