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')

When I survey the wondrous cross


(First line: When I survey the wondrous cross)

Tune: "When I survey"

Bila ku renung Salib Indah,
Tempat Raja Mulia mati,
Semua untung ku kira hilang,
Dan membenci segala angkuh ku.

Jangan, O Tuhan, aku megah,
Hanya dalam Salib Kristus Lord ku,
Semua tarikan dunia ini,
Ku korbankan pada darahNya.

Lihat k’pala, tangan, kaki Nya,
Sengsara, kasih b’sama mengalir,
Tak pernah kasih sehebat ini!
Tak pernah duri sekaya ini!

Jika s’gala dunia milik ku,
Amat kecil pemberian pada Nya,
Kasih hebat, kasih tinggi Tuhan,
Tuntut s’gala hati, hidup ku.
