摘要

本文探讨了新加坡新开元教会（NCC）与澳大利亚希尔松教会（Hillsong）在2014-2020年间通过歌曲的英文原版歌词对爱的理解和表达方式。新加坡新创造教会的会众使用多种语言，反映了新加坡社会的大环境，但该教会创作和发行的原创当代会众歌曲（CCS）均使用英文歌词。英语是新加坡的主要语言，但也受到家庭语言（如普通话、马来语、泰米尔语）的影响。结合新加坡基督教会的神学重点，它的中文诗歌提供了一个独特的视角，让我们了解英语作为敬拜的通用语言。本文说明，虽然使用英文歌词是多语言会众崇拜的一种统一力量，但它也不是无害的，而是在积极塑造基督教告白和相关神学，并受到更广泛的多语言环境的影响。

Understanding “Love” in the English Lyrics of the Original Songs by the Multilingual New Creation Church Singapore

This article explores the way in which love is understood and expressed through the original English lyrics of songs by New Creation Church Singapore (NCC) in comparison to the original songs from Hillsong Church Australia (Hillsong) through the period of 2014–2020. While NCC has a multilingual congregation, reflective of the larger Singaporean society, it composes and releases original contemporary congregational songs (CCS) with English lyrics. English is the primary language in Singapore; however, it is shaped by the languages spoken in homes (e.g., Mandarin, Malay, Tamil). Combined with the theological emphases of NCC, its CCS provide a unique lens into English as a common language of worship. This article demonstrates that while the use of English lyrics is a unifying force for multilingual congregational worship, it is also not benign, but actively shaping Christian confession and associated theology and being shaped by wider multilingual contexts.
