He Karakia

He Karakia Timatanga
Whakataka te hau ki te uru,
Whakataka te hau ki te tonga.
Kia mākinakina ki uta,
Kia mātaratara ki tai.
E hī ake ana te atākura he tio,
he huka, he hau hu.
Tihei mauri ora!

Opening Prayer
Get ready for the westerly and be prepared for the southerly.
It will be icy cold inland, and icy cold on the shore.
May the dawn rise red-tipped on ice, on snow, on frost.
Join! Gather! Intertwine!
He Karakia Whakakapi Kaupapa
Kia tau ki a tātou katoa
Te atawhai o tō tātou Ariki, a Ihu Karaiti
Me te aroha o te Atua
Me te whiwhingatahitanga
Ki te wairua tapu
Ake ake ake,
Amine

Closing Prayer
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ
And the love of God
And the fellowship of the Holy Spirit
Be with you all
Forever and ever
Amen
