The haka ‘Tihei Taruke’ was composed by Rev Turei in 1910 based on an understanding developed over generations around the meaning of the arrival of Christianity into a Ngati Porou worldview.

E Ihu,
ko koe nei te ara, te pono, me te marama,
na konei to pononga a Piripi Taumata-a-kura
i maia ai ki te tahu i te ahi o te whakapono
i whiti ai te maramatanga
ki roto i nga iwi o Te Tairawhiti,
manaakitia nga mahi a to hahi ki te hari i to Rongopai;
tena koe te ora na te kingi tahi na
me te Atua me te Wairua Tapu,
kotahi ano Atua.
Amen.
Prayer
Our Father,
give us today our daily bread.
Holy and eternal God,
in you we live and move and have our being.
In all our cares and occupations,
guide and govern us by your Spirit,
that we may both remember and reveal your presence;
through our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen.
The Blessing
May God kindle in us the fire of love.
Amen.
