Anō te pai, anō te ahuareka o te nohoanga o ngā tēina o ngā tuākana i runga i te whakaaro kotahi.
Waiata 133: 1
How good and pleasant a thing it is when God’s people live together in unity.
Psalm 133: 1
God, the sovereign of all,
your word is law in every quarter.
Speak your words again;
hold before us the words of Waitangi,
signed by Māori and Pākehā alike to seal their covenant;
make the treaty they established in Aotearoa
a beacon light for the days ahead;
through Christ, our guide, our way.
God of our nation,
you have called us to care for one another;
cleanse our eyes to see each other clearly;
open our hearts to know our own mistakes;
build in us respect for each other’s taonga;
help us to do justice to one another
and to hope together.
God of covenant and calling,
you bind us together;
keep us faithful to our calling
and true to our promises.
Liturgy from For All the Saints: A Resource for the Commemorations of the Calendar, 76-77.
