as the bridegroom to his chosen

ada lirik lagu yang bagus yang menggambarkan kedekatan manusia dengan Tuhannya. apa kita bisa ya..? lagu ini diciptakan oleh John Rutter (1945-...) dan pertama kali saya mempelajari lagu ini di paduan suara atma jaya, sekitar tahun 1997.

AS THE BRIDEGROOM TO HIS CHOSEN

As the bridgeroom to his chosen, as the king unto his realm

as the keeper to the castle, as the pilot to the helm

as the captain to his soldiers, as the shepherd to his lambs

So, Lord are thou to me....

as the fountain in the garden, as the candle in the dark

as the treasure in the coffer, as the manna in the ark

as the firelight in the winter, as the sunlight in the spring

So, Lord are thou to me....

as the music at the banquet, as the stamp unto the seal

as refreshment to the fainting, as the wine cup at the meal

as the singing on the feast day, as the amen to the prayer

So, Lord are thou to me....

as the ruby in the setting, as the honey in the comb

as the light within the lantern, as the father in the home

as the eagle in the mountains, as the sparrow in the nest

So, Lord are thou to me....

as the sunshine in the heavens, as the image in the glass

as the fruit unto the fig-tree, as the dew un-to the grass

as the rainbow on the hill top, as the river in the plain

So Lord are thou..., So, Lord are thou...So Lord are thou..to me....
