"'''Jaya Ho'''" is a [[Christianity|Christian]] [[hymn]] written in the [[Hindi (language)|Hindi language]] by an unknown author. The song's Hindi title, more frequently transliterated "[[Jai ho (disambiguation)|Jai ho]]" in other contexts, means "may there be victory" and is frequently used [[Interjection|interjectively]] to praise God. The hymn's English title is often given as "Victory Hymn" or "Victory Be to You [''i.e.'', God]".

The hymn was popularized in the United States by Indian-born composer Victor C. Sherring. He led the group Centennial Choir of India, which performed the song in concerts and prayer services in 70 American cities from 1955–1956 to celebrate the centennial of [[Methodism|Methodist]] missions in the United States. "Jaya Ho" was translated into English by Katherine R. Rohrbough in 1958. Scholars of [[sacred music]] have considered the hymn to be a praising of God and a celebration of victory in [[Jesus Christ]].

==History==
Victor C. Sherring, a composer who popularized the song, was born in 1919 in [[Kanpur]], [[Uttar Pradesh]], India, and attended Methodist schools in his youth.<ref name="Hawn"/>{{#tag:ref|Sherring attended university in the United States. In 1941, he graduated from [[Southwestern College (Kansas)|Southwestern College]] in [[Winfield, Kansas]]. In 1945, he graduated from [[Garrett–Evangelical Theological Seminary]] in [[Evanston, Illinois]]. Afterwards, he traveled back to his birthplace in India where he taught at Howard Plested Girls' Intermediate College.<ref name="Hawn"/>|group="Note"}} As the Centennial Choir of India director, he delivered "Jaya Ho" to the United States. From 1955–1956, in commemoration of the centennial of [[Methodism|Methodist]] missions in the United States, the Centennial Choir sang the hymn during their tour of 70 cities, where they performed at prayer assemblies and concerts. "Jaya Ho", Sherring wrote, was "first included in" ''Songs of Joy from India'', an [[anthology]] of songs printed by The Centenary Music Committee in 1955–1956 in both Indian and Western [[musical notation]].<ref name="Young436">{{Harvnb|Young|1993|p=436}}</ref>

Composed in the [[Hindi (language)|Hindi language]] by an anonymous author, the hymn was translated into English by Katherine R. Rohrbough in 1958. I-to Loh performed the [[phonetic transcription]] in 1988.<ref name="Young436"/> "Jaya Ho"'s Hindi title is translated as "Victory Hymn"<ref name="Hawn"/><ref name="Hoffer515">{{Harvnb|Hoffer|1996|p=515}}</ref><ref name="Sanchez1989">{{Harvnb|Sanchez|1989|p=165}}</ref> or "Victory be to you".<ref name="Young436"/>

Translated into English, it appears as hymn number 478<ref name="Black138">{{Harvnb|Black|2000|p=138}}</ref> in the 1989 edition of ''[[The United Methodist Hymnal]]''<ref name="Black141">{{Harvnb|Black|2000|p=141}}</ref> and as hymn number 252<ref name="Black138"/> in the 1996 edition of ''[[Voices United]]'', the hymn and worship book of the [[United Church of Canada]]''.<ref name="Black141"/>

==Textual analysis==
"Jaya Ho" originated from [[folk music]] in northern India. [[Taiwan]]ese [[ethnomusicology|ethnomusicologist]] I-to Loh, whom [[Perkins School of Theology]] professor C. Michael Hawn called the "foremost scholar on Asian hymnody", said the first phrase of the song, "Jaya ho", is the "most common phrase for praising God in the Indian subcontinent, with only slight variations".<ref name="Hawn"/> The [[Linguistic Association of Canada and the United States]] called "Jaya ho" an "exotic melody line". The association noted that while the song's beginning [[refrain]] is in Hindi, the song's remaining verses are in English.<ref name="Hoffer515"/>

Loh interpreted "Low at thy feet we bow in quiet reverence", the song's second stanza, to be "a contextual expression of utmost reverence in front of the Holy One". It urges God to grant the worshiper "forgiveness, vision, and protection". Professor of [[sacred music]] Hawn stated that the song's verses are enveloped by an "exuberant chorus" that articulates the great happiness of triumphing through Christ.<ref name="Hawn"/>

Hawn proposed that this Hindu hymn could be made relevant to 21st-century [[Western culture]] if people were to consider the experience of the [[Dalit]]s, people in the social caste of [[Untouchability|Untouchables]] in India, when singing the song. The Dalit Christians would experience liberty when singing of triumphing through Christ. By familiarizing themselves with multicultural songs, 21st-century Christians can have rarely experienced outlooks from the globally expansive Christian society. They learn, Hawn wrote, that Jesus "has become incarnate throughout the world".<ref name="Hawn"/>
