Wairua Tapu
Wairua tapu tau mai ra
Alight holy spirit/come to rest
Wairua tapu mai runga
Holy spirit from above
Uhia mai nga taonga pai
Cover all we hold dear
Homai to aroha.
Give us your love.
Whaia, kia tika
Lay down the path of righteousness
Akona mai ra kia uki te pai.
Teaching us to hold firmly to the right
Horoia kia ma tonu ra
Let us be cleansed
Mohou te tino kororia.
For you are the Glory.
Purea Nei
Purea nei e te hau
Scattered by the winds
Horoia e te ua
Washed by the rains
Whitiwhitia e te ra
Transformed by the sun
Mahea ake nga poraruraru
Swept away are the anxieties
Makere ana nga here.
Removed are all restraints.
E rere Wairua e rere
Fly free Sprirt, fly
Ki nga ao o te rangi
To the clouds in the heavens
Whitiwhitia e te ra
Transofrmed by the sun
Mahea ake nga poraruraru
Swept away are all anxieties
Makere ana nga here.
Removed are all restraints.
