He Hōnore

He hōnore, he korōria
Maungārongo ki te whenua
Whakaaro pai e
Ki ngā tāngata katoa
Ake ake, ake ake
Āmine
Te Atua, te piringa,
Toku oranga

Honour and Glory to God
Honour, glory and
peace to the land
May good thoughts come
to all men
for ever and ever, for ever and ever.
Amen
The Lord is the refuge
and my life

Whakaaria Mai

Whakaaria mai
Tōu rīpeka ki au
Tiaho mai
Rā roto i te pō
Hei konā au
Titiro atu ai.
Ora, mate,
Hei au koe noho ai

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.
