Whakaaria mai

The tune of Whakaaria mai is the hymn How Great Thou Art, which was written in 1886 by a Swedish pastor, Carl Boberg, after he was caught in a sudden thunderstorm while out in the countryside. The words of Whakaaria mai are a loose translation of the last verse of “Abide with Me,” composed by Rev. Henry Francis Lyte . He wrote this hymn in 1847 as he lay dying of tuberculosis, and he survived only a further three weeks after its completion. Whakaaria mai Tou ripeka ki au Tiaho mai Ra roto i te po Hei kona au Titiro atu ai. Ora, mate, Hei au koe noho ai Translation Show your cross to me. Let it shine there in the darkness. To there I will be looking. In life, in death, let me rest in thee.
