Translation of a Maori Hymn.
Tune "Josiah."—7's & 6's. Great Jehovah! What am I? An heir of endless woe; Yet thou deign'st to hear my cry, While grace and mercy /low, As a river from thy throne, Watering this poor soul of mine j Thy paternal care I own, My blessings are divine. Kicher far thy love which shone, On all mankind and me, . When thou gav'st ihy only Son, To bleed upon the tree ; Blessed Saviour, thou art mine ! Thou my debt of sin hast paid; I am free—ihy blood divine Hath full atonement made. Lo ! the night of inbred sin, Knwraps my captive heart; Thou cans't make me pure within, And light, and life impart; Jesus, now thy grace bestow, J.ct my soul thy presence prove. Let me, while I live below, lie sweetly lost in love. Auckland, July 28, 1851.
