Come great life force

Purea nei e te hau 
Horoia e te ua 
Whitiwhitia e te ra 
Mahea ake ngā  
pōraruraru 
Makere ana ngā here. 	

E rere wairua, e rere 
Ki ngā ao o te rangi 
Whitiwhitia e te ra 
Mahea ake ngā pōraruraru 
Makere ana nga here, 
Makere ana nga here. 

Cleansed by the wind 
washed by the rain 
and warmed by the sun, 
all troubles are cleared away 
and all restraints got rid of. 

Fly O free spirit, fly 
to the clouds in the heavens, 
warmed by the sun, 
with all troubles cleared away 
all restraints got rid of, 
all restrictions cast aside. 


Purea nei

Tēnā koutou E hoa mā.

Kia ora rā  Tātou katoa         

(usually sung acapella and usually twice through)
Te aroha 
Te whakapono 
Me te rangimarie 
Tatou tatou e 
 
(Translation. Love, truth and, Peace Be amongst us all)

Te aroha

Ruha te tia ihu whero, ihu whero pīata  
Ka kite i tōna ihu, ihu tino kanapa. 

Ka kata ngā tia katoa ki te ihu o Ruha 
kaore pai e rātou ki te tākaro noa 

Tetahi ra ka puta mai a Hanakoko e     
Ka haere mai ki te taurā, ki te kumea i ara rei  

He aroha ngā tia katoa, ki te ihu o Ruha 
Ruha, te tia ihu whero, wehe rangatira e 
Ruha, te tia ihu whero, wehe rangatira e 

Ruha te tia ihu whero
