This tune has been re-arranged and transcribed by many composers from different denominations. But this very popular composition is by the late Rev Samuelu Areta of the Methodist Church and has been published and printed in the new Methodist hymn book.
Lyrics
Lou Alii e Iesu lo matou faaola
Ou te malu ai i faaosoosoga
Le fili e le moe (i taimi) uma o lou ola
Na o oe e te laveai ma lou ola
Ch
Le matagi e agi i le mea e loto ai
E leiloa e le tagata lona sau ma toe mou ai
E faapena le tagata e talia ma toe suia
Ua ola fanaufouina ia Iesu le Mesia
Na o oe Iesu ou te lafi lilo ai
Mai mailei a le fili pe a malosi mai
Ua lutia au nei (mai faiga) a le fili saua
Aapa mai oe Iesu lou olataga
Faafetai Iesu i lou faaolataga
Lenei ua ou sao ai mai i lenei leaga
Se manu a fano ai (i le lo) loto o le agasala
Iesu Keriso o oe o le ola o tagata
