• Mari, Lihatlah Semua [KJ.114]

  2. Lihat Dia dalam lampin, bersahaja dan lemah Yang menunggang sayap angin dan di sorga disembah. Lihat Bayi ditidurkan, tidak sadar harkatNya, Yang di sorga diluhurkan: Hikmat Allah yang baka! Lihat Tuhan di palungan: Yang memangku semesta.	Luk 2:7, 12 Mzm 104:3 Flp 2:6 Ams 8:22-31
  3. Bayi Yesus, ya Tuhanku dalam rupa yang lemah, b'rilah daku itikadMu, b'rilah hati yang rendah. Buat aku asuhanMu, suci oleh kurbanMu, Bebas oleh tanggunganMu, Buat aku jadi baru, Hidup oleh matiMu!	Ibr 10:10, 14 2 Kor 8:9 1 Tes 5:10

Proverbs 1:1--31:30

• [Pro 3:1] He Liveth Long Who Liveth Well

  He liveth long who liveth well; All other life is short and vain; He liveth longest who can tell Of living most for heavenly gain. He liveth long who liveth well; All else is being flung away; He liveth longest who can tell Of true things truly done each day. Be what thou seemest; live thy creed; Hold up to earth the torch divine: Be what thou prayest to be made; Let the great Master’s steps be thine. Fill up each hour with what will last; Buy up the moments as they go; The life above, when this is past, Is the ripe fruit of life below. Sow love, and taste its fruitage pure; Sow peace, and reap its harvest bright; Sow sunbeams on the rock and moor, And find a harvest-home of light.

• [Pro 3:3] Loyalty Unto Christ

  “Loyalty unto Christ” the trumpet now is sounding, And the echoes answer from the fields of sin; Nations are awaking, idol thrones are shaking, For the great millennium is coming in. Like a mighty army, The heralds of the cross are spreading over land and sea. Bearing through the darkness, The light that leadeth to salvation full and free. Refrain Long and loud, “Loyalty unto Christ” we sing; Till every human tongue shall hear His praises sung! Let the hills, valleys and desert places ring, With “Loyalty unto Christ, our Lord and King.” Loyalty, faith and works, in holy consecration, Shall the scattered nations unto Him restore; Then the world shall own Him, and with joy enthrone Him, King of kings and Lord of lords forevermore. See the darkness lifting! The Gospel light of truth is spreading to the perfect day! Clouds are backward drifting! Renew endeavor! for the King prepare the way! Refrain “Loyalty unto Christ!” O what a mighty power, Were the hosts of God united in His Name! Then would angels greet us, Christ Himself would meet us, And baptize us with the Pentecostal flame. Then would come the triumph, And Christ be known and loved, His praise be sung from shore to shore; Earth would then, in glory, Become the kingdom of the Lord forevermore. Refrain

Lead us, O Father, in the paths of truth: Unhelped by Thee, in error’s name we grope, While passion stains, and folly dims our youth, And age comes on, uncheered by faith or hope. Lead us, O Father, in the paths of right: Blindly we stumble when we walk alone, Involved in shadows of a darksome night; Only with Thee we journey safely on.

  Leader of faithful souls, and Guide Of all who travel to the sky, Come, and with us, even us, abide, Who would on Thee alone rely; On Thee alone our spirits stay While held in life’s uneven sway. We’ve no abiding city here, But seek a city out of sight; Thither our steady course we steer, Aspiring to the plains of light, Jerusalem, the saints’ abode, Whose founder is the living God. Through Thee, who all our sins hast borne, Freely and graciously forgiven, With songs to Zion we return, Contending for our native heaven, That palace of our glorious King, We find it nearer while we sing.

On all our bishops pour The Spirit of Thy grace; That, as he won the palm of yore, So they may run their race. That, when this life is done, They may with him adore The ever blessèd Three in One, In bliss forevermore.

• [Pro 10:22] Sweet The Moments, Rich In Blessing

  Sweet the moments, rich in blessing, Which before the cross we spend, Life and health and peace possessing From the sinner’s dying Friend. Here I stay, forever viewing Mercy streaming in His blood; Precious drops, my soul bedewing, Plead and claim my peace with God. Truly blessèd is the station, Low before His cross to lie, While I see divine compassion Floating in His languid eye. Here we find our hope of Heaven, While upon the Lamb we gaze; Loving much, and much forgiven, Let our hearts o’erflow with praise. Oh, that, near the cross abiding, We may to the Savior cleave, Naught with Him our hearts dividing, All for Him content to leave! Lord, in ceaseless contemplation Fix our hearts and eyes on Thee, Till we taste Thy full salvation, And unveiled Thy glories see. For Thy sorrows we adore Thee, For the griefs that wrought our peace; Gracious Savior, we implore Thee, In our hearts Thy love increase.

  Thus far the Lord hath led me on, Thus far His power prolongs my days, And every evening shall make known Some fresh memorial of His grace. Much of my time has run to waste, And I, perhaps, am near my home; But He forgives my follies past, And gives me strength for days to come. I lay my body down to sleep; Peace is the pillow for my head; While well appointed angels keep Their watchful stations round my bed. In vain the sons of earth or hell Tell me a thousand frightful things My God in safety makes me dwell Beneath the shadow of His wings. Faith in His Name forbids my fear; O may Thy presence ne’er depart! And in the morning make me hear The love and kindness of Thy heart. Thus, when the night of death shall come, My flesh shall rest beneath the ground, And wait Thy voice to rouse my tomb, With sweet salvation in the sound.

How can it be, our reason cries, That God should leave His throne above? Is it for man th’Immortal dies? For man, who tramples on His love? For man, who nailed Him to the tree? O Love! O God! He dies for me! Why then, if Thou for me hast died, Dost Thou not yet Thyself impart? We hoped to feel Thy blood applied, To find Thee risen in our heart, Redeemed from all iniquity, Saved, to the utmost saved, thro’ Thee. Have we not then believed in vain, By Christ unsanctified, unfreed? In us He is not ris’n again, We know not but He still is dead, No life, no righteousness we have, Our hopes seem buried in His grave. Ah! Lord, if Thou indeed art ours, If Thou for us hast burst the tomb, Visit us with Thy quickening powers, Come to Thy mournful followers, come, Thyself to Thy weak members join, And fill us with the life divine. Thee, the great Prophet sent from God, Mighty in deed and word we own; Thou hast on some the grace bestowed, Thy rising in their hearts made known; They publish Thee to life restored, Attesting they have seen the Lord. Alas for us, whose eyes are held! Why cannot we our Savior see? With us Thou art yet still concealed: O might we hear one word from Thee! Speak, and to our unbelief reprove, Our baseness to mistrust Thy love. Fools as we are, and slow of heart, So backward to believe the Word! The Prophets’ only aim Thou art: They sang the sufferings of their Lord, Thy life for ours a ransom given, Thy rising to ensure our Heaven. Ought not our Lord the death to die, And then the glorious life to live? To stoop; and then to go up on high? The pain, and then the joy receive? His blood, the purchase price lay down, Endure the cross, and claim the crown? Ought not the members all to pass The way their Head had passed before?

  Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand, The shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land; A home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way, From the burning of the noontide heat, and the burden of the day. O safe and happy shelter, O refuge tried and sweet, O trysting place where Heaven’s love and Heaven’s justice meet! As to the holy patriarch that wondrous dream was given, So seems my Savior’s cross to me, a ladder up to heaven. There lies beneath its shadow but on the further side The darkness of an awful grave that gapes both deep and wide And there between us stands the cross two arms outstretched to save A watchman set to guard the way from that eternal grave. Upon that cross of Jesus mine eye at times can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me; And from my stricken heart with tears two wonders I confess; The wonders of redeeming love and my unworthiness. I take, O cross, thy shadow for my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of His face; Content to let the world go by to know no gain or loss, My sinful self my only shame, my glory all the cross.

Let fall on every college hall The luster of Thy cross, That love may dare Thy work to share And count all else as loss. Our hearts be ruled, our spirits schooled Alone Thy will to seek; And when we find Thy blessèd mind, Instruct our lips to speak.

• [Pro 22:19] Mother’s Goodbye, The

  Sit down by the side of your mother, my boy, You have only a moment, I know; But you’ll stay till I give you my parting advice, ’Tis all that I have to bestow. You leave us to seek for employment, my boy, By the world you have yet to be tried; But in all the temptations and struggles you meet, May your heart in the Savior confide. Refrain Hold fast to the right, Hold fast to the right, Wherever your footsteps may roam; O forsake not the way of salvation, my boy, That you learned from your mother at home. You’ll find in your satchel a Bible, my boy, ’Tis the book of all others the best; It will teach you to live, it will help you to die, And lead to the gates of the blest. I gave you to God, in your cradle, my boy, I have taught you the best that I knew; And as long as His mercy permits me to live, I shall never cease praying for you. Refrain Your father is coming to bid you goodbye, O how lonely and sad we shall be; But when far from the scenes of your childhood and youth, You’ll think of your father and me. I want you to feel every word I have said, For it came from the depths of my love; And, my boy, if we never behold you on earth, Will you promise to meet us above? Refrain

• [Pro 23:24] Lord Of Life And King Of Glory

  Lord of life and King of glory, Who didst deign a child to be, Cradled on a mother’s bosom, Throned upon a mother’s knee: For the children Thou hast given We must answer unto Thee! Since the day the blessèd mother Thee, the world’s Redeemer, bore, Thou hast crowned us with an honor Women never knew before; And that we may bear it meetly We must seek Thine aid the more. Grant us, then, pure hearts and patient, That in all we do or say Little souls our deeds may copy, And be never led astray; Little feet our steps may follow In a safe and narrow way. When our growing sons and daughters Look on life with eager eyes, Grant us then a deeper insight And new powers of sacrifice: Hope to trust them, faith to guide them, Love that nothing good denies. May we keep our holy calling Stainless in its fair renown, That when all the work is over And we lay the burdens down, Then the children Thou hast given Still may be our joy and crown.

• [Pro 23:26] Give Me Thy Heart

  “Give Me thy heart,” says the Father above— No gift so precious to Him as our love; Softly He whispers wherever thou art, “Gratefully trust Me and give Me thy heart.” Refrain “Give Me thy heart, give me thy heart”— Hear the soft whisper, wherever thou art; From this dark world He would draw thee apart, Speaking so tenderly, “Give Me thy heart.” “Give Me thy heart,” says the Savior of men, Calling in mercy again and again; “Trust in Me only, I’ll never depart— Have I not died for thee? Give Me thy heart.” Refrain “Give Me thy heart,” says the Spirit divine; “All that thou hast to My keeping resign; Grace more abounding is Mine to impart— Make full surrender and give Me thy heart.” Refrain

• [Pro 24:3] Building, Daily Building

  Building, daily building, while the moments fly, We are ever building life work for on high! Character we’re building, thoughts and actions free Make for us a building for eternity. Refrain We are building day by day, while the moments pass away, We are building, ever building; We are building day by day, while the moments pass away, We are building for eternity. Choosing, as we labor, what we wish to take, Oh let us be careful for the Master’s sake! He will help our labor, He will strength bestow; Let us choose for Jesus all we use below. Refrain Hay or wood or stubble, we must never use, Offers of the tempter we must e’er refuse. Sinful thoughts and actions will not stand the test; Seeking God’s approval, we must use the best. Refrain May the Lord approve us! ’Tis our earnest prayer. Oh, to have our building tall, and strong and fair! Oh, to live for Jesus! Truly every hour, Building praying trusting in His mighty power! Refrain

• [Pro 27:8] Return, O Wanderer, To Thy Home

  Return, O wanderer, to thy home, Thy Father calls for thee; No longer now an exile roam, In guilt and misery: Return, return! Too long the loathsome fields of sin Thy fruitless toil have known: No wholesome bread! no voice of kin! No home to call thine own! Return, return! Thy Father stands with outstretched hands, He gave His Son for thee: Poor soul, from sin’s enthralling bands He longs to see thee free. Return, return! Arise, stand up and homeward turn, No longer dwell apart; His mighty love will never spurn One humble contrite heart. Return, return! Our Father’s house is full of bliss, And there is room for all; He welcomes with forgiving kiss: O, hear His loving call! Return, return! The feast of joys awaits thee there, The precious robe and ring; O haste Thy Father’s gifts to share, O haste His praise to sing: Return, return!

• [Pro 28:14] Thrice Happy Souls

  Thrice happy souls, who, born from Heav’n, While yet they sojourn here, Humbly begin their days with God, And spend them in His fear, And spend them in His fear. So may our eyes with holy zeal, Prevent the dawning day, And turn the sacred pages o’er, And praise Thy Name and pray, And praise Thy Name and pray. Midst hourly cares my love presents Its incense to Thy throne; And while the world our hands employs, Our hearts be Thine alone, Our hearts be Thine alone. As sanctified to noblest ends, By each refreshment sought, And by each various providence, Some wise instruction brought, Some wise instruction brought.

• [Pro 31:30] The Praises Of That Saint We Sing

  The praises of that saint we sing, To whom all lands their tribute bring, Who with indomitable heart, Bore throughout life true woman’s heart. Restraining every froward sense By gentle bonds of abstinence, With prayer her hungry souls she fed, And thus to heavenly joys hath sped. King Christ, from Whom all virtue springs, Who only doest wondrous things, As now to Thee she kneels in prayer, In mercy our petitions hear. All praise to God the Father be, All praise, eternal Son, to Thee; Whom with the Spirit we adore Forever and forevermore.
