Haere Ra e te whanaunga,

Haere, Haere, Haere

Kua tuhono koe ki a ratou ma I roto I te ao Wairua

Ahakoa kua ngaro koe ki o matou tirohanga

Ka noho tou koe I roto I O matou whatumanawa mo ake tonu atu

Noho ora mai koe I roto nga ringa

O te atua mana koe e manaaki

 

Te Waiata a Himiona

 Katahi, e te Ariki, ka tukua tau pononga kia haere I runga I te Rangimarie: ka pera me tau I korero ai:

Ka kite nei hoki oku kanohi: I tau whanaoranga

Ka whakatakororia nei e ko: ki te aroaro o nga iwi katoa;

Hei whakamarama e kite ai nga tauiwi: hei kororia hoki mo tau iwi, mo Iharaira.

 

Kia whakakororiata te Matua, te Tama: me te Wairua Tapu;

Ko te ritenga ia I te timatanga, a tenei ano inaianei: a ka mau tonu iho, a ake ake ake.

Amine.

Condolences to the Grant whanau on the loss of Iona Marie Grant. To Shelly and Grant, I have never forgotten you both with your beaming smiles. We were all proud Newfield-ers of the era. Your whanau held mana in Highfield Terrace. R.I.P. Iona Marie Grant.
