Minita:

Ahakoa haere ahau i te awaawa
o te ätärangi o te mate, 
kähore he kino e wehi ai ahau:
no te mea kei töku taha koe;
ko tau räkau ko tau tokotoko,
ko ënä hei oranga ngäkau moku.  
Ngä Waiata 23.4

Ahakoa ora, e ora ana tatou ki te Ariki;
ahakoa mate, e mate ana tatou ki te Ariki:
na, ahakoa ora tatou, mate ränei,
na te Ariki tatou.         
Roma 14.8

Kia whakapaingia te Atua,
te Matua o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti,
nana nei, na tana mahi tohu e nui nei,
tatou i whanau hou ai ki te tümanako ora,
i a Ihu Karaiti ka ara ake nei i te hunga mate. 
1 Pita 1.3

Minister:

Though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death, 
I will fear no evil: for you are with me,
your rod and your staff are my comfort. 
Psalm 23

If we live we live for the Lord;
and if we die we die for the Lord.
Whether we live or die
we belong to the Lord.  
Romans 14.8

Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
by whose great mercy
we have been born anew to a living hope
by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead   
1 Peter 1.3

Te Waiata a Himiona

Kātahi, e te Ariki, ka tukua tāu
pononga kia haere i runga i te
rangimārie: ka pērā me tāu i kōrero ai:
Ka kite nei hoki ōku kanohi:
i tāu whakaoranga.
Ka whakatakotoria nei e koe:
ki te aroaro o ngā iwi katoa;
Hei whakamārama e kite ai ngā tauiwi:
hei korōria hoki mō tāu
iwi, mō Īharaira. Ruka 2:29-32

Kia whakakorōriatia te Matua, te Tama:
me te Wairua Tapu;
Ko te ritenga ia i te tīmatanga,
ā, tēnei anō ināianei:
ā, ka mau tonu iho, ā, ake ake ake. Āmine.

The Song of Simeon

Lord now  you let your servant depart in peace: 
your word has been fulfilled.
My own eyes have seen the salvation:
which you have prepared in the sight of every people,
a light to reveal you to the nations:
and the glory of your people Israel.

Glory to the Father and to the Son, 
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, 
and shall be for ever.  Amen. 

Kua akona nei tātou e tō tātou Ariki,
ka inoi tātou

E tō mātou Matua i te rangi
Kia tapu tōu Ingoa.
Kia tae mai tōu rangatiratanga.
Kia meatia tāu e pai ai
ki runga ki te whenua,
kia rite anō ki tō te rangi.
Hōmai ki a mātou āianei
he taro mā mātou mō tēnei rā.
Murua ō mātou hara,
Me mātou hoki e muru nei
i ō te hunga e hara ana ki a mātou.
Āua hoki mātou e kawea kia whakawaia;
Engari whakaorangia mātou i te kino:
Nōu hoki te rangatiratanga, te kaha,
me te korōria,
Āke ake ake.    Āmine.

As Christ teaches us we pray

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
and deliver us from evil.

For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and for ever.    Amen.
