Following the work of the pioneers, D.E. Jones (Zosaphluia) published the first Mizo Christian Hymn book in 1899, featuring early translations. First Mizo Composer (1904):

| Mizo (Original) | English Translation | | :--- | :--- | | Ka thisen hlu tak kha, I chhuahsan lo ang u, Lungawi taka ka hla sak hi, Aw, ka Pa, nang i lo ngaithla. | My precious blood, You did not shed in vain, This song I sing with joy, O my Father, do hear me. |
