Psalms 46:9

• AllahMu Benteng Yang Teguh [KJ.250b]

  1. Allahmu benteng yang teguh, perisai dan senjata; betapa pun sengsaramu, pertolonganNya nyata! Si jahat yang geram berniat 'kan menang; Ngeri kuasanya dan tipu dayanya di bumi tak bertara.

  2. Dengan tenaga yang fana niscaya kita kalah. Pahlawan kita Dialah yang diurapi Allah. Siapa namaNya? Sang Kristus mulia, Tuhan Yang Esa, Panglima semesta. Niscaya Ia jaya!

  3. Penuhpun setan dunia yang mau menumpas kita, jangan gentar melihatnya; iman tak sia-sia! Penghulu kuasa g'lap, meskipun menyergap, Mustahil 'kan menang; kuasanya ditebang dengan sepatah kata.

  4. FirmanNya pertahankan t'rus dan puji hanya Dia! Dengan kuasa Roh Kudus Ia di pihak kita. Kendati hidupmu diambil seteru, Pun harta dan benda, akhirnya kitalah yang punya Kerajaan!

  Father of all, Thy care we bless, Which crowns our families with peace; From Thee they spring, and by Thy hand They are, and shall be still sustained. To God, most worthy to be praised, Be our domestic altars raised; Who, Lord of Heaven, yet deigns to come And sanctify our humblest home. To Thee may each united house Morning and night present its vows; Our servants there, and rising race Be taught Thy precepts and Thy grace. So may each future age proclaim The honors of Thy glorious Name, And each succeeding race remove To join the family above.

  Whate’er my God ordains is right: His holy will abideth; I will be still whate’er He doth; And follow where He guideth; He is my God; though dark my road, He holds me that I shall not fall: Wherefore to Him I leave it all. Whate’er my God ordains is right: He never will deceive me; He leads me by the proper path: I know He will not leave me. I take, content, what He hath sent; His hand can turn my griefs away, And patiently I wait His day. Whate’er my God ordains is right: His loving thought attends me; No poison can be in the cup That my Physician sends me. My God is true; each morn anew I’ll trust His grace unending, My life to Him commending. Whate’er my God ordains is right: He is my Friend and Father; He suffers naught to do me harm, Though many storms may gather, Now I may know both joy and woe, Some day I shall see clearly That He hath loved me dearly. Whate’er my God ordains is right: Though now this cup, in drinking, May bitter seem to my faint heart, I take it, all unshrinking. My God is true; each morn anew Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart, And pain and sorrow shall depart. Whate’er my God ordains is right: Here shall my stand be taken; Though sorrow, need, or death be mine, Yet I am not forsaken. My Father’s care is round me there; He holds me that I shall not fall: And so to Him I leave it all.

Where rest but on Thy faithful Word? None ever called on Thee in vain, Give peace, O God, give peace again!

• [Heb 4:9] And Now The Wants Are Told

  And now the wants are told, that brought Thy children to Thy knee; Here lingering still, we ask for naught, But simply worship Thee. The hope of Heav’n’s eternal days Absorbs not all the heart That gives Thee glory, love, and praise For being what Thou art. For Thou art God, the One, the Same, O’er all things high and bright; And round us, when we speak Thy Name, There spreads a heav’n of light. O wondrous peace, in thought to dwell On excellence divine; To know that naught in man can tell How fair Thy beauties shine! O Thou, above all blessing blest, O’er thanks exalted far, Thy very greatness is a rest To weaklings as we are; For when we feel the praise of Thee A task beyond our powers, We say, “A perfect God is He, And He is fully ours.” All glory to the Father be, All glory to the Son, All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee, While endless ages run.

• [Heb 4:9] Friend After Friend Departs

  Friend after friend departs; Who hath not lost a friend? There is no union here of hearts, That finds not here an end: Were this frail world our only rest, Living or dying, none were blest. Beyond the flight of time, Beyond this vale of death, There surely is some blessèd clime Where life is not a breath, Nor life’s affections transient fire, Whose sparks fly upward and expire. There is a world above, Where parting is unknown, A whole eternity of love, Formed for the good alone; And faith beholds the dying here Translated to that happier sphere. Thus star by star declines, Till all are passed away, As morning high and higher shines To pure and perfect day; Nor sink those stars in empty night, But hide themselves in Heaven’s own light.

  Out on an ocean all boundless we ride, We’re homeward bound, homeward bound; Tossed on the waves of a rough, restless tide, We’re homeward bound, homeward bound; Far from the safe, quiet harbor we rode, Seeking our Father’s celestial abode; Promise of which on us each He bestowed: We’re homeward bound, homeward bound. Wildly the storm sweeps us on as it roars, We’re homeward bound, homeward bound; Look! yonder lie the bright heavenly shores: We’re homeward bound, homeward bound; Steady, O pilot! stand firm at the wheel; Steady! we soon shall outweather the gale; Oh, how we fly ’neath the loud creaking sail! We’re homeward bound, homeward bound. Into the harbor of Heav’n now we glide; We’re home at last, home at last; Softly we drift on its bright silver tide; We’re home at last, home at last; Glory to God! all our dangers are o’er; We stand secure on the glorified shore; Glory to God! we will shout evermore: We’re home at last, home at last;

• [Heb 4:9] How Sweet The Hour Of Closing Day

  How sweet the hour of closing day, When all is peaceful and serene, And when the sun, with cloudless ray, Sheds mellow luster o’er the scene! Such is the Christian’s parting hour; So peacefully he sinks to rest, When faith, endued from Heav’n with power, Sustains and cheers his languid breast. Mark but that radiance of his eye, That smile upon his wasted cheek; They tell us of his glory nigh, In language that no tongue can speak. A beam from Heav’n is sent to cheer The pilgrim on his gloomy road; And angels are attending near, To bear him to their bright abode. Who would not wish to die like those Whom God’s own Spirit deigns to bless? To sink into that soft repose, Then wake to perfect happiness?

• [Heb 4:9] If There Be That Skills To Reckon

  If there be that skills to reckon All the number of the blest, He perchance can weigh the gladness Of the everlasting rest, Which, their earthly exile finished, They by merit have possessed. Through the vale of lamentation Happily and safely past, Now the years of their affliction In their memory they recast, And the end of all perfection They can contemplate at last. There the gifts of each and single All in common right possess; There each member hath his portion In the Body’s blessedness; So that he, the least in merits, Shares the guerdon none the less. In a glass through types and riddles Dwelling here, we see alone; Then serenely, purely, clearly, We shall know as we are known, Fixing our enlightened vision On the glory of the throne. There the Trinity of Persons Unbeclouded shall we see; There the Unity of Essence Perfectly revealed shall be; While we hail the Threefold Godhead And the simple Unity. Wherefore, man, take heart and courage, Whatsoe’er thy present pain; Such untold reward through suffering Thou may’st merit to attain; And for ever in His glory With the Light of light to reign.

Sweet is the rest which thou shalt taste. The Father’s house has many a dwelling, And there will be a place for thee. With perfect love His heart is welling Who loved thee from eternity. His precious blood the Lamb hath given That thou might’st share the joys of Heaven, And now He calleth far and near: “Ye weary souls, cease your repining, Come while for you My light is shining; Come, sweetest rest awaits you here!” O come, come all, ye weak and weary, Ye souls bowed down with many a care; Arise and leave your dungeons dreary And listen to His promise fair: “Ye bore your burdens meek and lowly, I will fulfill My pledge most holy, I’ll be your solace and your rest. Ye are Mine own, I will requite you; Though sin and Satan seek to smite you, Rejoice! Your home is with the blest.” There rest and peace in endless measure Shall be ours through eternity; No grief, no care, shall mar our pleasure, And untold bliss our lot shall be. Oh, had we wings to hasten yonder— No more o’er earthly ills to ponder— To join the glad, triumphant band! Make haste, my soul, forget all sadness; For peace awaits thee, joy and gladness— The perfect rest is nigh at hand.
