Matthew 3:2
- 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.

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

Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding;
“Christ is nigh,” it seems to say,
“Cast away the works of darkness,
O ye children of the day.”Wakened by the solemn warning
Let the earthbound soul arise;
Christ, her Sun, all ill dispelling,
Shines upon the morning skies.Lo, the Lamb, so long expected,
Comes with pardon down from Heav’n;
Let us haste, with tears of sorrow,
One and all to be forgiven.That when next He comes in glory,
And the world is wrapped in fear,
With His mercy He may shield us,
And with words of love draw near.Honor, glory, might, and blessing
Be to God: the Father, Son
And the everlasting Spirit,
While eternal ages run.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

“Repent, the kingdom draweth nigh,”
The herald of the Lord doth cry.
Ye sinners lost through Adam’s fall,
Will ye not hearken to the call?Repent! The gracious call believe,
Haste His forgiveness to receive.
The Prince of Life, incarnate Word,
Life and salvation can afford.Divine Redeemer, glorious King!
Repentant hearts to Thee we bring.
Thy holy blood for us was spilt,
Cleanse us from all the stains of guilt.Drawn by Thy Spirit, through Thy Word,
Thine invitation have we heard.
In answer to Thy sweet request,
We come to Thee, O Christ, for rest.Thy pardon, full, complete, and free,
Removes sin’s awful penalty.
Our Father’s love is now restored;
Thou hast redeemed us, dearest Lord.Let us Thy Name forever bless,
On earth Thy Gospel truth confess,
Till saved by grace, through faith in Thee,
The gates of paradise we see.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

“Love God; thy neighbor love: for see
God’s mercy draweth near!”O voice of duty, still
Speak forth: I hear with awe;

Obey the sovereign law.Thou higher voice of love,
Yet speak thy word in me;
Through duty, let me upward move
To thy pure liberty.Play source: Cyberhymnal

[Mat 13:31] Little Drops Of Water
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the beauteous land.And the little moments,
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
Of eternity.Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love,
Make our earth an Eden,
Like the Heaven above.So our little errors
Lead the soul away,
From the paths of virtue
Into sin to stray.Little seeds of mercy
Sown by youthful hands,
Grow to bless the nations
Far in heathen lands.Glory then for ever
Be to Father, Son,
With the Holy Spirit,
Blessèd Three in One.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mat 13:31] That Cause Can Neither Be Lost Nor Stayed
That cause can never be lost nor stayed
Which takes the course of what God has made;
And is not trusting in walls and towers,
But slowly growing from seeds to flowers.Each noble service that men have wrought
Was first conceived as a fruitful thought;
Each worthy cause with a future glorious
By quietly growing becomes victorious.Thereby itself like a tree it shows:
That high it reaches, as deep it grows;
And when the storms are its branches shaking,
It deeper root in the soil is taking.Be then no more by a storm dismayed,
For by it the full grown seeds are laid;
And though the tree by its might it shatters,
What then, if thousands of seeds it scatters?Play source: Cyberhymnal

[Mat 13:44] God In Heaven Hath A Treasure
God in heaven hath a treasure, riches none may count or tell;
Hath a deep eternal pleasure, Christ, the Son, He loveth well.
God hath here on earth a treasure, none but He its price may know—
Deep, unfathomable pleasure, Christ revealed in saints below.Christ, the Light that fills the heavens, shining forth on earth beneath,
Through His Spirit freely given, Light of life ’midst shades of death;
Down from heaven’s unclouded glory God Himself the treasure brought,
Closing thus His love’s sweet story with His sweetest, deepest thought.God in tongues of fire descending, chosen vessels thus to fill
With the treasure never ending, ever spent—unfailing still.
Still unwasted, undiminished, though the days of dearth wear on,
Store eternally unfinished, fresh, as if but now begun.Earthen vessels, marred, unsightly, but the treasure as of old,
Fresh from glory, gleaming brightly, heaven’s undimmed, unchanging gold.
God’s own hand the vessel filling from the glory far above,
Longing hearts forever stilling with those riches of His love.Thus, through earthen vessels only, shining forth in ceaseless grace,
Reaching weary hearts and lonely, beams the light in Jesus’ face.
Vessels worthless, broken, bearing through the hungry ages on,
Riches given with hand unsparing, God’s great gift, His precious Son.Thus though worn, and tried, and tempted, glorious calling, saint, is thine;
Let the Lord but find thee emptied, living branch in Christ the Vine!
Vessels of the world’s despising, vessels weak, and poor, and base;
Bearing wealth God’s heart is prizing, glory from Christ’s blessèd face.Oh, to be but emptier, lowlier, mean, unnoticed, and unknown.
And to God a vessel holier, filled with Christ, and Christ alone!
Naught of earth to cloud the glory, naught of self the light to dim.
Telling forth His wondrous story, emptied—to be filled with Him.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Jesus, priceless Treasure,
Source of purest pleasure,
Truest Friend to me.
Ah, how long in anguish
Shall my spirit languish,
Yearning, Lord, for Thee?
Thou art mine, O Lamb divine!
I will suffer naught to hide Thee,
Naught I ask beside Thee.In Thine arms I rest me;
Foes who would molest me
Cannot reach me here.
Though the earth be shaking,
Every heart be quaking,
Jesus calms my fear.
Lightnings flash and thunders crash;
Yet, though sin and hell assail me,
Jesus will not fail me.Satan, I defy thee;
Death, I now decry thee;
Fear, I bid thee cease.
World, thou shalt not harm me
Nor thy threats alarm me
While I sing of peace.
God’s great power guards every hour;
Earth and all its depths adore Him,
Silent bow before Him.Evil world, I leave thee;
Thou canst not deceive me,
Thine appeal is vain.
Sin that once did bind me,
Get thee far behind me,
Come not forth again.
Past thy hour, O pride and power;
Sinful life, thy bonds I sever,
Leave thee now forever.Hence, all thought of sadness!
For the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in.
Those who love the Father,
Though the storms may gather,
Still have peace within;
Yea, whatever we here must bear,
Still in Thee lies purest pleasure,

A Prophet full of light,
My great High Priest before the throne,
My King of heav’nly might.For He indeed is Lord of lords,
And He the King of kings;
He is the Sun of righteousness,
With healing in His wings.Christ is my Peace; He died for me,
For me He gave His blood;
And as my wondrous Sacrifice,
Offered Himself to God.Christ Jesus is my All in all,

Does all my griefs assuage;

Almost in every page.This is the field where hidden lies
The pearl of price unknown;
That merchant is divinely wise
Who makes the pearl his own.Here consecrated water flows
To quench my thirst of sin;
Here the fair tree of knowledge grows,
Nor danger dwells therein.This is the Judge that ends the strife
Where wit and reason fail,
My guide to everlasting life
Through all this gloomy vale.O may Thy counsels, mighty God,
My roving feet command;

Have you given up all for this Treasure?
Have you counted past gains as but loss?
Has your trust in yourself and your merits
Come to naught before Christ and His cross?Have you come to the living Redeemer,
Him that bore all your sins on the tree?
Has He graciously pardoned and cleansed you
In the blood shed for you and for me?
At His feet as one dead, have you fallen,
And been quickened anew by His voice,
Till, entranced by His riches of goodness,
In His presence you live and rejoice?Has the Savior, the righteous, the holy,
Cast the beams of His all searching light
Into all of your heart’s deep recesses,
And transformed into day their dark night?
O then answer these questions so pressing,
Before God, ere time’s favor shall cease,
Is the Pearl of great price yours forever?

Made ready for your full reward,
Go forth with joy to meet your Lord.Go, meet Him in the sky,
Your everlasting Friend;
Your Head to glorify,
With all His saints ascend;
Ye pure in heart, obtain the grace
To see, without a veil, His face.The everlasting doors
Shall soon the saints receive,
With seraphs, thrones, and powers,
In glorious joy to live;
Far from a world of grief and sin,
With God eternally shut in.Then let us wait to hear
The trumpet’s welcome sound;
To see our Lord appear,
May we be watching found;
And when Thou dost the heavens bow,
Be found—as, Lord, Thou find’st us now.Play source: Cyberhymnal
