• Siang, Malam, Musim, Tahun [KJ.331]

  1. Siang, malam, musim, tahun gilir ganti melenyap; bayang- bayangnya berlalu, tiada satu yang tetap. Hidup kita menjalani jangka waktu dunia; tak terulang yang terjadi, tinggal tanggung jawabnya.
  2. Orang hidup ditinggalkan oleh pendahulunya, kita pun menuju makam yang fana. Dari bumi kita lahir dan kembali padaNya; tanpa rahmat yang ilahi, apakah manusia?	Pkh 1:4 Mzm 89:48-49 Kej 3:19 Mzm 103:14 Mzm 144:3-4
  3. Sungguh, Allah mengasihi dunia ciptaanNya: dalam PutraNya sendiri Ia tinggal beserta. Yang percaya kepadaNya, tak binasa tenggelam, tapi hidup selamanya dalam Dia yang menang.	Yoh 3:16 Mat 1:23
  4. Walau zaman menghanyutkan tiap hal di dunia, pengasihanMu, ya Tuhan, untuk s'lama-lamanya! Di segala perubahan, dalam duka apapun, dalam Kristus aku aman: kau menjadi Bapaku!	Mzm 90:5-10 Mzm 103:15-18 Yes 40:6-8
  5. Bapa, Sumber pengasihan, Bapa dalam t'rang dan g'lap. Bapa dalam kematian, pun di kubur yang senyap, setiaMu tak berubah, kasihMu tetap teguh: Bapa, kepadaMu jua kuserahkan diriku.
  6. Siang, malam, musim, tahun, biar kamu melenyap; dalam suka dan dukaku rahmat Allahku tetap! TanganNya menuntun daku lewat zaman dunia dan akhirnya 'ku selalu tinggal dalam rumahNya.	Mzm 31:16 Mzm 23:6

Job 7:15-21

• [Job 7:16] I Would Not Live Alway

  I would not live alway; I ask not to stay Where storm after storm rises dark o’er the way; The few lurid mornings that dawn on us here Are enough for life’s woes, full enough for its cheer. I would not live alway, thus fettered by sin; Temptation without, and corruption within; E’en the rapture of pardon is mingled with fears, And the cup of thanksgiving with penitent tears. I would not live alway; no, welcome the tomb: Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not its gloom; There sweet be my rest, till He bid me arise To hail Him in triumph descending the skies. Who, who would live alway, away from his God, Away from yon Heaven, that blissful abode, Where the rivers of pleasure flow o’er the bright plains, And the noontide of glory eternally reigns; Where the saints of all ages in harmony meet, Their Savior and brethren, transported, to greet; While the anthems of rapture unceasingly roll, And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul?

• [Job 7:17] What Am I, O Thou Glorious God!

  What am I, O Thou glorious God! And what my father’s house to Thee, That Thou such mercies hast bestowed On me, the chief of sinners, me! I take the blessing from above, And wonder at Thy boundless love. Me in my blood Thy love passed by, And stopped, my ruin to retrieve; Wept o’er my soul Thy pitying eye, Thy bowels yearned, and sounded “Live!” Dying, I heard the welcome sound, And pardon in Thy mercy found. Honor, and might, and thanks, and praise, I render to my pardoning God, Extol the riches of Thy grace, And spread Thy saving Name abroad, That only name to sinners giv’n, Which lifts poor dying worms to Heav’n. Jesus, I bless Thy gracious power, And all within me shouts Thy Name; Thy Name let every soul adore, Thy power let every tongue proclaim; Thy grace let every sinner know, And find with me their heaven below.

Psalms 8:4

• [Psa 8:4] Lord, What Was Man?

  Lord, what was man, when made at first, Adam the offspring of the dust, That Thou shouldst set him and his race But just below an angel’s place? That Thou shouldst raise his nature so, And make him lord of all below; Make every beast and bird submit, And lay the fishes at his feet? But O! what brighter glories wait To crown the Second Adam’s state! What honors shall Thy Son adorn, Who condescended to be born! See Him below His angels made; See Him in dust amongst the dead, To save a ruined world from sin; But He shall reign with power divine. The world to come, redeemed from all The mis’ries that attend the fall, New made and glorious, shall submit At our exalted Savior’s feet.

Psalms 144:3-4

• [Psa 144:3] Now Praise We Great And Famous Men

  Now praise we great and famous men, The fathers named in story; And praise the Lord, who now as then Reveals in man His glory. Praise we the wise and brave and strong, Who graced their generation, Who helped the right, and fought the wrong, And made our folk a nation. Praise we the great of heart and mind, The singers sweetly gifted, Whose music like a mighty wind The souls of men uplifted. Praise we the peaceful men of skill, Who builded homes of beauty, And, rich in art, made richer still The brotherhood of duty. Praise we the glorious names we know, And they whose names have perished, Lost, in the haze of long ago, In silent love be cherished. In peace their sacred ashes rest, Fulfilled their day’s endeavor; They blessed the earth, and they are blessed Of God and man forever.
