Nū ʻOli (Glad
Tidings) - Robert Lowry (1826-1899)
|
Nū ʻoli! Nū ʻoli!
He nū kamahaʻo!
He nū no ke ola mai luna mai nō
No kānaka nui, no kamaliʻi nei
A ʻoi ka nani i ke gula aʻiaʻi
Hui:
Nū ʻoli! Nū ʻoli!
Nū kamahaʻo,
kamahaʻo, kamahaʻo ē!
Nū ʻoli! nū ʻoli!
He nū no ke ola e hau'oli ē!
Nū ʻoli! Nū ʻoli!
Ua pili ia nū
I ka poʻe ʻilihune, ka poʻe luʻuluʻu
Neʻe
mai a paulele hahai iā Iesū
A pau nō ka hune a maha ʻoukou
Nū ʻoli! Nū ʻoli!
Hauʻoli ʻoukou
Ka poʻe akahai a haʻahaʻa ka naʻau
Na Iesū e kala a hoʻohānau
hou
A kaʻi mai nei aʻe i ka nani ma ʻō

Glad tidings! Glad tidings!
What wonderful news!
Such news of salvation from
above
For great men and for little
children, too
More glorious than brilliant
and shining gold
Chorus:
Glad tidings! Glad
tidings!
News so wonderful, astonishing,
remarkable too
Glad tidings! Glad
tidings!
Such news of salvation, 'tis
happiness and joy!
Glad tidings! Glad tidings!
Clinging to the news
Are the poor and the sorrowful
in burdensome straits
Push ahead in faith and follow
Jesus
All you who are poor and
burdened too
Glad tidings! Glad tidings!
Happy are you
Those who are meek and humble
too
'Tis Jesus who frees us and
gives us new life
And on to the glory by Him we
are led
