TRANSLATION OF A MAORI HYMN.
When erring man beset with snares. Or wreck'd on shoals of anxious cares; Is toss'd on life's relentless wave— Father, tis thou alone canst save. Thou art the source of life! The glow Of health thou giv'st. The tides which How Within, and bear ine to you sea, May ebb, ere I (ind rest in thee. All power is thine ! 0 guard this heart In all its avenues ; impart Thy aid when watchful foes assail, — Clolh'd in thy strength I must prevail. How good thou art, thy creatures show Above, and in this vale of woe ; 'l'ci me that goodness now extend, And be my everlasting friend.
