KETE TORU: A Collection of Maori Songs
13. Te Atua Te Atua, tapu o ngā tapu Ki a ihu te kororia, honore Te atua te mana hareruia I heke mai a Ihu e Ki te Iwi
Majesty Majesty, worship his majesty Unto Jesus be all glory honour and praise Majesty, Kingdom authority Down from His throne Unto his own his anthem raise
Hāpaitia Te ingoa o ihu Whakapaingia Whakamoemititia
So lift up (lift up on high) The name of Jesus Magnify (come glorify) Christ Jesus the King
Te Atua tapu o ngā tapu I mate nei A ihu e Te kingi nui
Majesty, worship His majesty Jesus who died Now glorified King of all Kings
14. E te Ariki E te ariki Whakarongo mai rā kia mātou E te ariki Titiro mai rā kia mātou Tēnei mātou O tamariki E whakapono ana mātou Ki a koe
Oh lord Oh lord Listen to us Oh lord Look upon us Here we are Your children We have faith In you
Aue! Aue! Te matua te tamaiti Wairua tapu e
Alas! Alas! The father the son The Holy spirit
