Isaiah 35:8-10
- Seisi Padang Belantara [KJ.74]
1. Seisi padang belantara akan bersorak tak henti
dan gurun pasir pun kentara bagaikan mawar berseri!
Padanya akan diberikan semarak yang tak bakal hilang:
Baginya nampak tergelar serba kemuliaan Tuhan,
Yang ia sambut dan agungkan dengan gempita yang besar!
2. Kuatkan tangan tak berdaya, teguhkan kaki yang lesu;
orang cemas yang putus asa, kini tabahkan hatimu!
Tengadahlah: Allahmu datang; umatNya Ia selamatkan!
Selaku Hakim yang kudus Ia membalas kekerasan,
membela korban penindasan, menjamin damaimu terus!
Ibr 12:12
3. Celiklah mata orang buta melihat karya yang ajaib,
telinga tuli pun terbuka untuk menyambut kabar baik;
yang lumpuh bangun dan menari, yang bisu bersyukur menyanyi,
kar'na di tanah yang gersang mengalir sungai air hidup
membuat padang gurun itu penuh tanaman dan kembang!

4. Nanti terbuka jalan raya; umat kudus pelintasnya,

[Isa 35:8] I Walk The King’s Highway
I know not where the road will lead
I follow day by day,
Or where it ends: I only know
I walk the King’s highway.I know not if the way is long,
And no one else can say;
But rough or smooth, up hill or down,
I walk the King’s highway.And some I love have reached the end,
But some with me may stay,
Their faith and hope still guiding me:
I walk the King’s highway.The way is truth, the way is love,
For light and strength I pray,
And through the years of life, to God,
I walk the King’s highway.The countless hosts lead on before,
I must not fear nor stray;
With them, the pilgrims of the faith,
I walk the King’s highway.Through light and dark the road leads on
Till dawns the endless day,
When I shall know why in this life
I walk the King’s highway.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Holds from Heav’n the soul apart;
Legioned foes in shadowy terror

Where delight doth not abate!
For that home the spirit yearneth,
Where none languisheth nor mourneth.There the body hath no torment,
There the mind is free from care,
There is every voice rejoicing,
Every heart is loving there.

Them their King delighteth well:
Still they joy and weary never,
More and more desiring ever.There the seers and fathers holy,

Who, waiting yet in sadness,
Would sing His praise in gladness.Refrain
He cometh not with warriors,
And not with pomp and show,
Yet smiteth He with terror
Sin, death, and every foe.
The Spirit’s sword He wieldeth,
Not e’en to death He yieldeth.Refrain
Give heed, thou sinful people,
Thy King and Savior own;
The kingdom He hath founded
Is not an earthly one;
No power can overthrow it,
Nor earthly wisdom know it.Refrain
The throne which He ascendeth
Is fixed in heaven above:
His sanctified dominion
Is light alone and love.
His praise be ever sounding
For grace and peace abounding.Refrain
Jerusalem is fallen,
And closed its temple door;
Its sacrifices ended;
Its scepter is no more.
Christ’s kingdom never ceaseth,
Its glory still increaseth.Refrain

[Isa 40:3] Ye Sons Of Men, Oh, Hearken
Ye sons of men, oh, hearken:
Your heart and mind prepare;
To hail th’almighty Savior,
Oh sinners, be your care.
He Who of grace alone
Our Life and Light was given,
The promised Lord from Heaven,
Unto our world is shown.Prepare the way before Him;
Prepare for Him the best.
Cast out whate’er offendeth
This great, this heav’nly Guest.
Make straight, make plain, the way:
The lowly valleys raising,
The heights of pride abasing,
His path all even lay.The humble heart and lowly
God lifteth up on high;
Beneath His feet in anguish
The haughty soul shall lie.
The heart, sincere and right,
That heeds God’s invitation
And makes true preparation,
It is the Lord’s delight.Prepare my heart, Lord Jesus,
Turn not from me aside,
And grant that I receive Thee
This blessèd Adventide.
From stall and manger low
Come Thou to dwell within me;
Loud praises will I sing Thee
And forth Thy glory show.Play source: Cyberhymnal
