E te Atua o nga hipi katoa,
Ka tuku whakamoemiti nei ki a koe, mo au tiakitanga pai.
Ko koe tonu ra to matou piringa, to matou hepara.
No reira whakakahangia matou kia tu whai kororia ai koe,
i roto i o matou ngakau.
I roto nei i to Ingoa tino tapu,
Amine.

E to Matua i te rangi, te Ariki o te rongomau
Titiro atawhai mai ina matou ka ngakaurua,
Aua hoki matou e taka ki te he,
Engari araihina matou i runga i te huarahi o te whakapono,
Ki tae ake ki te oranga tonutanga
Ko koe tonu to matou Ariki,
Amine.

Risen Incarnate who rolls the stone away
Laden with anointing spices, we walk the road to your tomb
We stand, afraid, faced with the open cave

We still don’t get it.
Lead us through our fear to understanding
That we may know you as our living Saviour
AMEN
