"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')

Again the blessed Gospel I have heard

(First line: Again the blessed Gospel I have heard/ Once more my soul thy Saviour)

Tune link: "I will"

S'kali lagi ku t'lah dengar Injil,
Firman Tuhan benar,
Hati jiwa ku dengar suara Nya,
Apa harus ku buat?

Aku.....datang.....,
Pada Mu Tuhan ku percaya kasih Mu,
Harap kurnia hidup dan damai Mu,
Terima Anak Mu. 

Hati degil ku jauh terpisah,
Tiada kediaman,
Tiada aman, harapan ku gelap,
Tapi kini taubat.

Kerja baik ku tak dapat bawa,
Tiada kekudusan,
Hanya harap darah berharga Christ,
Cuci s’gala dosa.

Teach me Thy way, O Lord

(first line: "Teach me Thy way, O Lord")

Tune link: "Teach me Thy way" or "Nearer my God to Thee"


Ajar ku jalan Mu, 
Lord, ajar ku;
Kurnia Mu bantu ku,
Ajarlah ku:
Agar ku dibimbing,
Hidup dengan iman;
Terang Mu memimpin,
Ajarlah ku.

Bila ragu timbul,
Ajar ku, Lord;
Bila ribut landa,
Ajarlah ku:
Sinarlah terang Mu,
Dalam duka, pahit;
Laluan ku jelas,
Ajarlah ku.

S’panjang hayat aku,
Ajar ku, Lord;
Mana jua aku,
Ajarlah ku:
Hingga akhir lumba,
Hingga jalan tamat,
Hinggalah mahkota,
Ajarlah ku.

O What a Saviour that He died for me! (Verily, I say unto you)

(first line: O What a Saviour that He died for me!)

Tune link: "O What a Saviour that He died for me"

O Jurus’lamat yang mati ‘tuk ku!
Dari kutukan Dia bebaskan ku;
O "Dia yang percaya pada Anak,” 
“Ada hidup kekal."

Sungguhnya, sungguhnya, ku b’ritahu mu;
Sungguhnya, sungguhnya, b’rita yang segar;
O “Dia yang percaya pada Anak,"
“Ada hidup kekal."

Semua dosa ku timpa pada Nya,
Semua hutang ku bayar oleh Nya;
Semua yang percaya pada Dia,
“Ada hidup kekal."

Walau miskin ku boleh harap Nya,
Walau lemah ku harap Firman Nya;
B’rita bai’k! ‘Tiap orang percaya,
“Ada hidup kekal."

Walau tak layak, ku tak ‘kan sangsi,
K’rana yang datang tak ‘kan diusir;
B’rita indah! “Di-a yang percaya,"
“Ada hidup kekal."
