Amazing Grace (Te Atua)
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found,
Was blind, but now I see.
E te Atua kua ruia nei
O purapura pai.
Homai e koe he ngakau hou
Kia tupu ake ai
E Ihu kaua a tukua
Kia whakangaromia.
Me whakatupu ake ia
Kia kitia ai nga hua
(O God there has been sown
Your good seeds.
You give a new heart
to grow forth.
O Jesus do not let them
be lost.
Let them be allowed to grow
So that Thy fruits may be seen)
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far
And Grace will lead me home.
E te Atua kua ruia nei
O purapura pai.
Homai e koe he ngakau hou
Kia tupu ake ai
(O God there has been sown
Your good seeds.
You give a new heart
to grow forth.)
Was blind, but now I see.
