E to matou Matua i te rangi
Kia tapu tou Ingoa
Kia tae mai tou rangatira-tanga.
Kia meatia tau e pai ai
ki runga ki te whenua,
kia rite ano ki to te rangi.
Homai ki a matou aianei
he taro ma matou mo tenei ra.
Murua o matou hara
Me matou hoki e muru nei
i o te hunga e hara ana ki a matou.
Aua hoki matou e kawea kia whaka-waia;
Engari whaka-orangia matou, i te kino:
Nou hoki te rangatira-tanga,
te kaha, me te kororia,
Ake, ake, ake.
Amine.

Arohaina mai
E te Kingi nui

O tamariki e
Horahia mai rā
Te marie nui ki te
Hoko-whitu a Tū toa
Ngā mamaetanga
Me ngā pouri nui
Pēhia rawatia
Ki raro rā e.
Mē anga atu
Ka karanga ki te Matua
Aue aroha mai
Ngā hapū katoa
O Aotearoa e
Tau awhitia rā
Ko tōku rongo
Kia mau te tihe
Mauria ora
A ngā tūpuna
Hei tohu wehi e
Song by The Hi-Marks
I believe for every drop of rain thats falls,
A flower grows,
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night,
A candle glows,
I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come to show the way
I believe, I believe
I believe above the storm, the smallest prayer will still be heard,
I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word,
Everytime I hear a new born baby cry
Or touch a leaf or see the sky,
Then I know why I believe
Everytime I hear a new born baby cry
Or touch a leaf or see the sky,
Then I know why I believe
"Watching the stars without you"
