This research used qualitative method, by interviewing some people who directly related to the arrangement of the book. Data from articles and books as well as theories from interdiciplinary science were also taken into consideration. This research shows that Ende Sangap di Jahowa songbook exists because of the needs of varied songs in addition to Buku Ende and Haluaon na Gok. Its presence shows that for hundred of years HKBP congregations have adapted and created new songs from ones that came out of their own culture. It gives positive changes in HKBP services.
