Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tapu te pō
Tīra-marama mai ra
Koi'nei te pō o te Kai-whaka-ora
[Verse 2]
He Ao hara, he Ao aroha kore
Tū mai rā koe hei whaka-tau I au
Ngā Tūmanako o te Ao katoa
Puawai i-te ata ko te Ao hou
[Verse 3]
Whaka-nuia
Inā nga reo Ana-hera
Tapu te pō, te pō a Ihu
Te pō Tapu rawa
He Ao
Ao marama
[Verse 4]
O holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Saviorʻs birth
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
Till He appeared
And the soul felt itʻs worth
[Verse 5]
Ngā Tūmanako o te Ao katoa
Puawai i-te ata ko te Ao hou
[Verse 6]
Whaka-nuia
Inā, inā nga reo Ana-hera
Tapu te pō, te pō a Ihu
Te pō Tapu rawa
He Ao
Ao marama
