What A Friend We Have In Jesus 耶穌恩友

耶穌是我親愛朋友
擔當我罪與憂愁, 何等權利能將萬事, 帶到主恩座前求! 多少平安屢屢失去, 多少痛苦白白受, 皆因未將各樣事情, 帶到主恩座前求。 All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer! Oh what peace we often forfeit Oh what needless pain we bear All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer
或遇試探或遇引誘
或有煩惱壓心頭 切莫灰心切莫喪膽, 來到主恩座前求! 何處得此忠心朋友, 分擔一切苦與憂, 耶穌深知我們軟弱, 來到主恩座前求。
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged Take it to the Lord in prayer Can we find a friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness Take it to the Lord in prayer

ISRAEL'S National Anthem - HATIKVAH with English and Hebrew lyrics


HATIKVAH - ISRAEL's National anthem was sung by Enrico Macias. Words written in 1886 by Naphtali Herz Imber, an English poet originally from Bohemia. The melody was written by Samuel Cohen, an immigrant from Moldavia. Cohen actually based the melody on a musical theme found in Bedrich Smetana's "Moldau."
History
The title of the national anthem, HATIKVAH, means "The Hope." It was written by Naftali Herz Imber (1856-1909), who moved to Palestine in 1882 from Galicia. The melody was arranged by Samuel Cohen, an immigrant from Moldavia, from a musical theme in Smetana's "Moldau" that is partly based on a Scandinavian folk song. Hatikvah expresses the hope of the Jewish people, that they would someday return to the land of their forefathers as prophesied in the Hebrew Bible. The Jewish people were exiled from Israel in 70 C.E. by the Roman army led by Titus who destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem. During the two thousand years of exile, the Jewish people said special daily prayers for return to Israel while facing the East in the direction of Jerusalem. They celebrated the holidays according to Hebrew seasons and calendar. Zion is synonymous with Israel and Jerusalem.
