Himi 531. Ko hinehinaange – Saame 51:7

Tune: Henry S. Perkins

‘Oi, na‘i Toto ne mahua
Ke pālutu ai ha māma angahala!
‘Oi, na‘i ‘Alo he ‘Otua!
Hota faito‘o hono ngāhi tā.
‘Eiki, ko au eni angahala
‘Oku ou hū atu mo punou;
‘E, fufulu au ho ta‘ata‘a,
Pea u hinehina he sinou

Refrain
Hinehinaange! Hinehinaange!
‘E, fufulu au ho ta‘ata‘a,
Pea u hinehina he sinou

Talatala‘ia ho kalauni,
Pea vaivai ho sino he ‘akau;
Lahi ‘a e mamahi ho‘o mo‘ui,
Ka ke kīkītaki pē ma‘aku.
Lata au he vai fakama‘a
Foa he vakavaka na ‘o‘ou;
‘E, fufulu au ho ta‘ata‘a,
Pea u hinehina he sinou.

‘Alā, kuo u fakalielia
Afe hoku loto tu‘o lahi;
Kula‘aho‘aho ‘eku hia,
‘O ‘ikai matafi ‘i ha vai
Sisū kuo u tui mo falala
Ki ho kovinānite fo‘ou:
‘E, fufulu au ho ta‘ata‘a,
Pea u hinehina he sinou

The Blood of the Lamb

(w) Eden R. Latta (m) Henry S. Perkins Meter 8.8.8.8 D R Key: D

Blessèd be the fountain of blood,
To a world of sinners revealed;
Blessèd be the dear Son of God;
Only by His stripes we are healed.
Tho’ I’ve wandered far from His fold,
Bringing to my heart pain and woe,
Wash me in the blood of the Lamb,
And I shall be whiter than snow.

Refrain

Whiter than the snow,
Whiter than the snow,
Wash me in the blood of the Lamb,
And I shall be whiter than snow.

Thorny was the crown that He wore,
And the cross His body o’er came;
Grievous were the sorrows He bore,
But He suffered Thus not in vain.
May I to that fountain be led,
Made to cleanse my sins here below;
Wash me in the blood that He shed,
And I shall be whiter than snow.

Refrain

Father, I have wandered from Thee,
Often has my heart gone astray;
Crimson do my sins seem to me—
Water cannot wash them away.
Jesus, to the fountain of Thine,
Leaning on Thy promise, I go;
Cleanse me by Thy washing divine,
And I shall be whiter than snow.

A fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity. Zechariah 13:1

I answered, “Sir, you know.” And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Revelation 7:14
