Ka tu whera te tatau pounamu o te Ao E takoto te whariki o te Atua ki mua i a tatou He honore, he kororia ki te Atua He maunga rongo ki te whenua He whakaaro pai ki nga tangata katoa Ka huri te kei o te waka ki te Kingi a Tuheitia Me te whare Kahui Ariki whanau whanui tonu Ma te Atua e tiaki, e manaaki i a ratou Me nga whakaaro tonu ki nga mate o te wa Takoto mai, moe mai koutou, haere, haere, haere Kati ratou ki a ratou, tatou ki a tatou No reira, he korowai rau whero o te whare Waiora o Waikato Haere mai, Haere mai Nau mai.
The green stone door to the world opens The whariki of God is laid before us All honour and glory be to God May there be peace on Earth And good will to all people The keel of our waka turns to King Tuheitia And the house hold of the Kahui Ariki May God care and bless them Our thoughts turn to those who have passed on recently Rest in peace sleep in peace depart journey on Let the dead be separated from us the living Therefore to our distinguished guests gathered here Welcome, welcome, Welcome.
