Sentuh Hatiku

Betapa kumencintai

Segala yang telah terjadi

Tak pernah sendiri, jalani hidup ini

Selalu menyertai

Betapa kumenyadari

Di dalam hatiku ini

Kau s’lalu memberi, rancangan terbaik

Oleh karena kasih

Bapa sentuh hatiku, ubah hidupku

Menjadi yang baru

Bagai emas yang murni

Kau membentuk bejana hatiku

Bapa ajarku mengerti, sebuah kasih

Yang selalu memberi

Bagai air mengalir

Yang tiada pernah berhenti

Silindung

Sian punsu ni Dolok Martimbang i

Jongjong au manatap, hutatap humaliang

Songon intan nang berlian nararak di hutai

Arta pinukka ni ompui

Sian purba pe sahat tu irisanna

Tarbarita do tongtong hinaulinai

Nang tu desa naulau, tong tarsar baritani

O Rura Silindung Nauli

Hape nuaeng dung dao au sian lambungmi

Marhuta sada tu luat sileban i

Hubege baritam tangis au di nadao

Huingot disihaetehonki

Huta nauli didia saonari

Huta najogi hatubuanki

Tung godang do naung hasea sian ho

Pangisi ni luatmi di luat nadao

Aha ma naung dipatupa lao paturehon ho

Paulihon hinajogi mi

dohot udutna…sori bah lupa

Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
‘Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

When we’ve been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’ve first begun.

John New­ton, Ol­ney Hymns (Lon­don: W. Ol­i­ver, 1779)
