Hipokina mai

He hōnore He kororia Maungārongo ki te whenua Whakaaro pai e Ki ngā tāngata katoa

Ake ake Ake ake āmine Te atua Te piringa Ōku ōranga

E te iwi e Anei ngā mihi nui Kia koutou e manaaki I ngā tāonga tapu

Ko te aroha Ko te tūmanako Me te whakapono hoki I tukua iho nei

Mā te Arikinui Tātou katoa e ārahi I roto i ngā mahi Mahi tūpuna e Nāna i homai He pounamau tapu rawa Kore e mutu ai Te tangi nei korero mai

Honour Glory Peace upon the land Goodwill To all people

Forever and ever Forever and ever amen The Lord My shelter My wellbeing

To you the people Greetings To you who care for These sacred treasures

The love The aspirations The faith That have been passed down

Let the Lord Guide us all With our tasks Ancestral tasks He gave us The very sacred gift May it not cease The spoken call
