The results of the study show that the meaning of the lyrics of this hymn depicts total love for others as the embodiment of the ideology of "fear of God", as well as the embodiment of feelings that influence one's motivation both physically and emotionally, through various symbols such as flesh, blood, shelter, and so on. In other words, the lyrics of the hymn True Evangelical Faith fully represent the love Jesus taught.]]>
