Amazing Grace (Lokomaika`i He Nani No) - John Newton
 
 
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see


'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed


Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
`Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home


The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures


 

 
Lokomaika`i, he nani no
Ho`ola mai ia`u
Ua hewa ia e aloha ano
Ua po ae ua la


Lokomaika`i, e a`o nei au
Lokomaika`i e mihi
Lokomaika`i,
e ho`omana`o i`o
Mai maka`u e ola no


Lokomaika`i, kokua mai nei
I palekana mau no
E lanakila na popilikia
E alaka`i homelani


Lokomaika`i, he Iesu Kristo
Na olelo pa`a maika`i
Ku`u pu`uhonua ka Haku e
I ola mau loa no
