A Summer Prayer

E te Atua, ngā whakamoemiti ki a koe, mō
āu mahi i waenga i a mātou.
Nōu te ihi i tāu i hanga ai,
Nōu te hihiri i a mātou rangahau hou.
I roto i a mātou mahi hīkoi katoa,
whakakahangia mātou,
kia noho ai i roto i te ihi, te wehi, me te
tūmanako.
Whakarongo ki tēnei īnoi i runga i tōu
aroha.
Āmine

Praise to you, God, for all your work
among us.
Yours is the vigour in creation,
yours is the impulse in our new
discoveries.
Make us adventurous, yet reverent and
hopeful in all we do.
Hear this prayer for your love’s sake.
Amen.
