He tama aroha au nō te Atua

He mahi nui Tōna māku

Ka tipu, ka meinga rawa au

Hei tangata ū ki te tika, pono

Ngākau katoa, hinengaro,

me te kaha

Te wareware oku ki taurangi

Ka rite ki Tōna rite nei

I ōku kupu, aku mahi e

Ka mātāmua a Ia i tōku oranga

I will prepare the world Ka whakaritehia te ao

Mō Tōna hokitanga mai

I Tōna karanga mai, ka kotahi ai

Tōna mahi, ka mahia

Tōna mahi, ka mahia

Ka mahu ai tōku manawa

Kei ōna waewae aku taumaha

Ka tū ki ngā tihi taumata

Kia pīata ai Tōna mārama

Ka rite ki Tōna rite nei

I ōku kupu, aku mahi e

Ka mātāmua a Ia i tōku oranga

Ka whakaritehia te ao

Mō Tōna hokitanga mai

I Tōna karanga mai, ka kotahi ai

Tōna mahi, ka mahia

Tōna mahi, ka mahia

Ka rite ki Tōna rite nei

I ōku kupu, aku mahi e

Ka mātāmua a Ia i tōku oranga

Ka whakaritehia te ao

Mō Tōna hokitanga mai

I Tōna karanga mai, ka kotahi ai

Tōna mahi, ka mahia

Tōna mahi, ka mahia
