1757 - Tuka falls at God's feet

God is full of goodness; he meets every man in a shape fit for him. God is generous; when he makes a gift, he cares not whether it be much or little. God is mighty; he has no match in the world. I want God, I want him; all beings desire him. God is full of goodness; Tuka falls at his feet.
