Psalms 18:33

• AllahMu Benteng Yang Teguh [KJ.250b]

  1. Allahmu benteng yang teguh, perisai dan senjata; betapa pun sengsaramu, pertolonganNya nyata! Si jahat yang geram berniat 'kan menang; Ngeri kuasanya dan tipu dayanya di bumi tak bertara.

  2. Dengan tenaga yang fana niscaya kita kalah. Pahlawan kita Dialah yang diurapi Allah. Siapa namaNya? Sang Kristus mulia, Tuhan Yang Esa, Panglima semesta. Niscaya Ia jaya!

  3. Penuhpun setan dunia yang mau menumpas kita, jangan gentar melihatnya; iman tak sia-sia! Penghulu kuasa g'lap, meskipun menyergap, Mustahil 'kan menang; kuasanya ditebang dengan sepatah kata.

  4. FirmanNya pertahankan t'rus dan puji hanya Dia! Dengan kuasa Roh Kudus Ia di pihak kita. Kendati hidupmu diambil seteru, Pun harta dan benda, akhirnya kitalah yang punya Kerajaan!

• [Mat 7:24] Built On The Rock

  Built on the Rock the church doth stand, Even when steeples are falling; Crumbled have spires in every land, Bells still are chiming and calling; Calling the young and old to rest, But above all the soul distressed, Longing for rest everlasting. Surely in temples made with hands, God, the Most High, is not dwelling; High above earth His temple stands, All earthly temples excelling; Yet He whom heavens cannot contain Chose to abide on earth with men, Built in our bodies His temple. We are God’s house of living stones, Builded for His habitation; He through baptismal grace us owns, Heirs of His wondrous salvation; Were we but two His Name to tell, Yet He would deign with us to dwell, With all His grace and His favor. Now we may gather with our King; Even in the lowliest dwelling: Praises to Him we there may bring, His wondrous mercy foretelling; Jesus His grace to us accords, Spirit and life are all His words, His truth doth hallow the temple. Still we our earthly temples rear, That we may herald His praises; They are the homes where He draws near And little children embraces, Beautiful things in them are said, God there with us His covenant made, Making us heirs of His Kingdom. Here stands the font before our eyes Telling how God did receive us; The altar recalls Christ’s sacrifice And what His table doth give us; Here sounds the Word that doth proclaim Christ yesterday, today, the same, Yea, and for aye our Redeemer. Grant then, O God, wherever men roam, That, when the church bells are ringing, Many in saving faith may come Where Christ His message is bringing: “I know Mine own, Mine own know Me; Ye, not the world, My face shall see. My peace I leave with you.”

• [Mat 16:18] Mighty God, Come Build Your Mighty Church

  Mighty God, come build Your mighty Church upon Your mighty Word! In the ears of an astounded world, make all Your Wisdom heard! Let Your apostolic teaching forge in us a bond of awe, As Your people come together, seeing more than Moses saw: Not in cloud, or fiery pillar, come now to make us one, But in Word made flesh come show Yourself, through Your Eternal Son! As we praise Your name together and worship all You are, By the broken bread of Your own flesh, come heal our every scar! In a life-transforming wonder, enter to show forth Your name. Come engrave on our new hearts this Love that You proclaim. Work a miracle of fellowship among us as we pray, Open up our hearts to meet the needs we lift to You today. With great gladness and sincerity we praise our God and King, Seeing in our trials and triumphs His hand in everything. And whether this world hates us or whether it may smile, We will trust a sovereign mercy to be working all the while To augment the glorious choir that sings in realms of endless day Of amazing and unbounded love that never fades away.

• [Mat 16:18] O Where Are Kings And Empires Now

  O where are kings and empires now Of old, that went and came? But Lord, Thy Church is praying yet, A thousand years the same. We mark her goodly battlements And her foundations strong; We hear, within, the solemn voice Of her unending song. For not like kingdoms of the world Thy holy Church, O God, Though earthquake shocks are threat’ning her, And tempests are abroad. Unshaken as eternal hills, Immovable she stands, A mountain that shall fill the earth, A house not made by hands.

• [Mat 16:18] O Young And Fearless Prophet

  O young and fearless Prophet of ancient Galilee, Thy life is still a summons to serve humanity; To make our thoughts and actions less prone to please the crowd, To stand with humble courage for truth with hearts uncowed. We marvel at the purpose that held Thee to Thy course While ever on the hilltop before Thee loomed the cross; Thy steadfast face set forward where love and duty shone, While we betray so quickly and leave Thee there alone. O help us stand unswerving against war’s bloody way, Where hate and lust and falsehood hold back Christ’s holy sway; Forbid false love of country that blinds us to His call, Who lifts above the nations the unity of all. Stir up in us a protest against our greed for wealth, While others starve and hunger and plead for work and health; Where homes with little children cry out for lack of bread, Who live their years sore burdened beneath a gloomy dread. Create in us the splendor that dawns when hearts are kind, That knows not race nor station as boundaries of the mind; That learns to value beauty, in heart, or brain, or soul, And longs to bind God’s children into one perfect whole. O young and fearless Prophet, we need Thy presence here, Amid our pride and glory to see Thy face appear; Once more to hear Thy challenge above our noisy day, Again to lead us forward along God’s holy way.
