Welcome quote

Welcome!

"These hymns have brought cheer in the day of trial; comfort in the time of bereavement; encouragement to live a life of greater devotion to Christ; rebuke to our coldness and oft backslidings; stimulus to enter and continue in sacrificial service for our blessed Lord and Master; and inspiration and guidance in our adoring worship and praise to the Father, through the Son, and in the power of the Holy Spirit!"
- Alfred Gibbs (from 'Hymns: Their Use and Abuse')

Draw me nearer blessed Lord


(First line: I am Thine O Lord, I have heard Thy voice)


Ku punyaan Lord, suara injil Mu,
B'ritahu ku kasih Mu;
Tapi ingin ku bangkit beriman,
'Tuk dekat kepada Mu.

Dekatkan ku, pada salib Mu,
Di mana Kau t'lah mati,
Dekatkan ku, dekat, dekat Mu O Lord,
Ke sisi berharga Mu.

Sucikanlah ku, pada kerja Mu,
Dengan kuasa kurnia Mu,
Biarlah jiwa ku teguh mengharap,
Kehendak Mu pimpin ku.

Sungguh gembira mana ketika,
Ku luangkan dengan Mu,
Berlutut doa dengan Mu Tuhan, 
Berhubung bagai kawan.

Dalamnya kasih belum ku tahu,
Sehingga hari mulia,
Tingginya girang belum ku capai,
Hingga saat rehat Mu.
