He hōnore
He hōnore, he korōria
Maungārongo ki te whenua.
Whakaaro pai e
Kingā tangata katoa
Ake ake, ake ake.
Āmine
Te Atua, te piringa,
Toku oranga.
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.
