tapu te pō tīramarama ana koinei te pō o te kaiwhakaora he ao hara, he ao aroha kore tū mai rā koe oho ake te wairua ngā tūmanako o te ao katoa ngā puāwaitanga, ina ko te ao hou whakanuia, inā te reo anahera tapu te pō, te pō tapu, te pō o ihu te pō, te pō tapu te ao mārama Oh holy night The stars are brightly shining It is the night of our dear savior’s birth Long lay the world in sin and error pining Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morning Fall on your knees or hear the angels voices Oh night divine Oh night when Christ was born Oh night divine Oh night divine
