Exodus 1:1--4:31

• Yerusalem, O Kota Daud [KJ.134]

  1. Yerusalem, o kota Daud, betapa kau berubah! Mengapakah tak lagi kau menjunjung citra sorga? Majusi datang padamu mencari Putra Damai; Engkau gelisah terkejut, tak sadar Ia sampai.	Mat 2:1-3
  2. Yerusalem, mengapakah kausangkal maksud Tuhan? Di manakah sejahtera yang harus kauwujudkan? Serupa dulu sang Firaun membunuh anak-anak, Herodes pun di takhta Daud telah berbuat jahat.	Kel 1:15-22 Mat 2:16-18
  3. O Betlehem di Efrata, tempat mesias lahir, mestinya kau bahagia sebab Rajamu hadir. Tetapi duka dan gentar mengganti damai itu: Di mana-mana terdengar ratapan ibu-ibu.	Yer 31:15
  4. O Betlehem, pusaka Daud, anakmu kaukuburkan, tetapi di Mesir nunjauh Yang Satu diluputkan. Serupa Musa yang kecil dijaga oleh Miryam, Sang Bayi Yesus di Mesir tentram dengan Maria.	Mat 2:13-15 Kel 2:1-10
  5. Yerusalem dan Betlehem, tempatmu tidak aman; seluruh bumi, kau telah sesat sepanjang zaman. Manusia, bertobatlah, tinggalkan kejahatan, Sebab dengan sejahtera Mesias sudah datang!	Mat 3:2

Exodus 1:1--4:31

• [Exo 2:22] I Am A Poor Wayfaring Stranger

  I am a poor wayfaring stranger, While traveling through this world of woe. Yet there’s no sickness, toil nor danger In that bright world to which I go. I’m going there to see my Father; I’m going there no more to roam. Refrain I’m only going over Jordan, I’m only going over home. I know dark clouds will gather round me; I know my way is rough and steep. But golden fields lie out before me Where God’s redeemed shall ever sleep. I’m going there to see my mother, She said she’d meet me when I come. Refrain I’ll soon be free from every trial, My body sleep in the churchyard; I’ll drop the cross of self denial And enter on my great reward. I’m going there to see my Savior, To sing His praise forevermore. Refrain

• [Exo 2:22] A Pilgrim Through This Lonely World

  A pilgrim through this lonely world The blessèd Savior passed; A mourner all His life was He, A dying Lamb at last, A dying Lamb at last. That tender heart that felt for all, For all its life blood gave; It found on earth no resting place Save only in the grave, Save only in the grave. Such was our Lord; and shall we fear The cross with all its scorn? Or love a faithless, evil world, That wreathed His brow with thorn, That wreathed His brow with thorn? No! facing all its frowns or smiles, Like Him, obedient, still, We homeward press through storm or calm To Zion’s blessèd hill, To Zion’s blessèd hill. By faith His boundless glories there Our wondering eyes behold; Those glories which eternal years Shall never all unfold; Shall never all unfold.

• [Exo 2:23] Lift Every Voice And Sing

  Lift every voice and sing, till earth and Heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of liberty; Let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory is won. Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod, Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet, Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered, We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered; Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way; Thou who hast by Thy might, led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee. Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee. Shadowed beneath Thy hand, may we forever stand, True to our God, true to our native land.

• [Exo 3:8] I’m Abiding In Canaan Land

  I’m abiding today in Canaan land, In the sunlight of God’s love; And the Savior’s face ever shines before me As I journey to my home above. Refrain I’m abiding in Canaan land! I’m abiding in Canaan land! Since He washed my sin away, It is glory all the way, I’m abiding in Canaan land! I’m abiding in Canaan land! I’m abiding in Canaan land! All my sins have been forgiv’n, And I’m on my way to Heav’n, I’m abiding in Canaan land! ’Tis a foretaste of coming glory yonder In that land beyond the sky, Where in bliss untold I shall ever wander In the blessèd homeland by and by. Refrain Won’t you enter the land of peace and blessing, And its rapture with me share? All your sin and guilt to the Lord confessing, You will have a blessèd welcome there. Refrain

• [Exo 3:17] O The Way Is Long And Weary

  O the way is long and weary, And our bleeding feet are sore; Is it far to Canaan’s land? Is it far to Canaan’s land? In the desert we are longing For its shelter more and more Is it far, is it far to Canaan’s land? Refrain We are weary, we are weary Sadly wand’ring thro’ the wilderness, And o’er the desert sand; We are weary, oh so weary, Is it far, is it far to Canaan’s land? Thro’ the wilderness we’re foll’wing Where the stronger ones have led; Is it far to Canaan’s land? Is it far to Canaan’s land? Where the sand is often burning, And the ground our only bed. Is it far, is it far to Canaan’s land? Refrain O how sweet would be a resting place, A safe and quiet home; Is it far to Canaan’s land? Is it far to Canaan’s land? Where the cruel days of bondage And of fear will never come, Is it far, is it far to Canaan’s land? Refrain

• [Exo 4:11] Awake, My Tongue, Thy Tribute Bring

  Awake, my tongue, thy tribute bring To Him Who gave Thee power to sing; Praise Him Who is all praise above, The source of wisdom and of love. How vast His knowledge, how profound! A deep where all our thoughts are drowned; The stars He numbers, and their names He gives to all those heavenly flames. Through each bright world above, behold Ten thousand thousand charms unfold; Earth, air, and mighty seas combine To speak His wisdom all divine. But in redemption, O what grace! Its wonders, O what thought can trace! Here, wisdom shines forever bright; Praise Him, my soul, with sweet delight.

• [Exo 4:12] Jesus, The Truth And Power Divine

  Jesus, the Truth and Power divine, Send forth these messengers of Thine; Their hands confirm, their hearts inspire, And touch their lips with hallowed fire. Be Thou their mouth and wisdom, Lord; Thou, by the hammer of Thy Word, The rocky hearts in pieces break, And bid the sons of thunder speak. To those who would their Lord embrace, Give them to preach the word of grace; Sweetly their yielding bosoms move, And melt them with the fire of love. Let all with thankful hearts confess Thy welcome messengers of peace; Thy power in their report be found, And let Thy feet behind them sound.

• [Exo 4:12] Lord, Speak To Me

  Lord, speak to me that I may speak In living echoes of Thy tone; As Thou has sought, so let me seek Thine erring children lost and lone. O lead me, Lord, that I may lead The wandering and the wavering feet; O feed me, Lord, that I may feed Thy hungering ones with manna sweet. O strengthen me, that while I stand Firm on the rock, and strong in Thee, I may stretch out a loving hand To wrestlers with the troubled sea. O teach me, Lord, that I may teach The precious things Thou dost impart; And wing my words, that they may reach The hidden depths of many a heart. O give Thine own sweet rest to me, That I may speak with soothing power A word in season, as from Thee, To weary ones in needful hour. O fill me with Thy fullness, Lord, Until my very heart overflow In kindling thought and glowing word, Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show. O use me, Lord, use even me, Just as Thou wilt, and when, and where, Until Thy blessèd face I see, Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share.
