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,
bebas ancaman dan bahaya, menuju Sion mulia.

[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 -

Be sure you take no heed—they’re trying to mislead—
Just keep along the middle of the King’s highway.Refrain

And a thousand pleasant voices bid you stay,
With fingers stop your ears, and never mind the jeers,

Joy and triumph everlasting
Hath the heav’nly Church on high;
For that pure immortal gladness
All our feast days mourn and sigh:
Yet in death’s dark desert wild
Doth the mother aid her child;
Guards celestial thence attend us,
Stand in combat to defend us.Here the world’s perpetual warfare
Holds from Heav’n the soul apart;
Legioned foes in shadowy terror
Vex the Sabbath of the heart.
O how happy that estate
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.
Angels in that city dwell;
Them their King delighteth well:
Still they joy and weary never,
More and more desiring ever.There the seers and fathers holy,
There the prophets glorified,
All their doubts and darkness ended,
In the Light of Light abide.
There the saints, whose memories old
We in faithful hymns uphold,
Have forgot their bitter story
In the joy of Jesus’ glory.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

In purest holiness be passed;
Our minds so rule and strengthen
That they may rise o’er things of earth,
The hopes and joys that here have birth;
