Whakaaria Mai - Karaoke - Waiata Māori

Whakaaria Mai is a well known hīmene or hymn. It has been performed regularly at events by many groups and artists. The hymn tune is most widely known as How Great Thou Art. The Māori verses were composed by Canon Wiremu Te Tau Huata, who served as a chaplain during WWII for the 28th (Māori) Battalion and composed many famous waiata. While set to the music of "How Great Thou Art", and often combined with the English version of this hymn, the Māori lyrics are instead a loose translation of the hymn "Abide with Me".

Lyrics:
Whakaaria mai
Show
Tōu rīpeka ki a au
your cross to me.
Tiaho mai
Let it shine
Rā roto i te pō
there in the darkness.
Hei konā au
To there I
Titiro atu ai.
will be looking.
Ora, mate,
In life, in death,
Hei au koe noho ai
let me rest in thee.
Canon Wiremu Te Tau Huata
