A MAORI HYMN.
TRANSLATION. 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 flow, As a river from thy throne, Watering this poor soul of mine j Thy paternal care I own, My blessings are divine. Richer far thy love which shone, On all mankind and me, When thou gav'st thy only Son, To bleed upon the tree ; Blessed Saviour ! thou art mine ! Thou ray debt of sin hast paid; I am free—thy blood divine Hath full atonement made. Lo ! the night of inbred sin, Enwraps my captive heart; Thou catis't make me pure within, And light, and life impart; Jesus, now thy grace bestow, Let my soul thy presence prove. Let me, while I live below, Be sweetly lost in love.
