Representative Text

1 Sungguh besar anug’rahMu, memb’ri aku s’lamat
Hilanglah jiwaku dulu di jalan yang sesat.

2 Lewat bahaya dan jerat jiwaku t’lah datang
Oleh anug’rahku s’lamat, dan jiwaku senang.

3 Berjanjilah Tuhan yang baik, kekallah sabdaMu
Bagiku Tuhan p’risai sepanjang umurku.

4 Ya Tuhan bila hambaMu ajalnya t’lah dekat
Anug’rahMu itu memb’ri sentosa dan suka.
