Ngā mihi o te Rā o ngā Pāpā

He aha te mea e hanga ai he pāpā

I tangohia e te Atua te kaha o te maunga,

Te kororia o te rākau,

Ko te mahana o te rā raumati,

Te marino o te moana marino,

Te wairua atawhai o te taiao,

Te ringa whakamarie o te pō,

Te whakaaro nui o ngā tau,

Te mana o te rere a te ēkara,

Te harikoa o te ata o te kōanga,

Ko te whakapono o te purapura sinapi,

Ko te manawanui o te mutunga kore,

Te hohonutanga o te hiahia o te whānau,

Kātahi ka whakakotahi te Atua i ēnei āhuatanga,

I te korenga o tetahi atu mea hei tāpiri atu,

I mōhio ia kua oti tana mahi toi,

Nā reira, i huaina e ia…ko Pāpā.
