HE TANGI, NA TAREHU, MO TE AHO, I HINGA I TE RUAPEKAPEKA.

Tera te marama,
Ka whakawhenua, i te pae,
Ko Te Atua pea,
Tenei ka ora mai,
Tenei to kahu,
E puta ki waho ra,
Kia whakarongo koe,
Ki te korero o te riri,
Kihai koe i riro mai,
I te pu i huri mai i runga i te tere,
I riro pea koe, i te pu mau mai,
Ki te ringa,
Kei whea hoki ra to tapuwae nui,
E horo i te riri,
Ki te taha tu o te rangi,
Ka whati ra ia,
Taku mahuri totara,
Taku nohoanga whakanui, i te ranga awatea,
He hinganga whare nui,
Ka moe i te kino e,
Ma wai e ranga to mate i te ao,
Ma Hone Heke, te uru tikanga
Takahia te kara,
I te puke ki Maiki,
Kei raro tata iho ko Mohi Tawhai,
Ko te tangata ra ia,
I tupu ai te riri,
I ngaro ai te iwi,
E kore e hoki mai te makau ki te whare,
I a Kawiti ra ka puia iti i te ao.
