有人說,《普天頌讚》裡的詩歌歌詞都很古老難明,但有一首小時候常唱的聖詩《主是愛歌》是例外,簡單得不得了,但若用粵語唱,很不協音,試改如下:
《主是愛歌》

齊齊頌讚!主的心肝寶貝,讚美主!大慈愛!
齊齊謝恩!主的心肝寶貝,謝謝主!主是愛!人人下拜!主的心肝寶貝,敬拜主!大慈愛!
人人熱愛!主的心肝寶貝,敬愛主!主是愛!Praise Him, praise Him, all ye little children,

Praise Him, praise Him, all ye little children,
God is love, God is love.Love Him, love Him, all ye little children,
God is love, God is love;

原詞有三節,普天頌讚把之併作兩節,在重譯時,也跟普頌的作法。
