KARAKIA


To start the session with Whāea Karena:
(This can also be sung as a hymn - tune to Kumbaya)
E te Atua
Manaaki mai
E te Atua
Awhina mai
E te Atua
Aroha mai
Ake! Ake!
Amene
Lord
Guide us
Lord
Support us
Lord
Love us
Forever and ever
Amen


To end the session with Whāea Karena:

E te Atua, kia ora rā
Mo to manaaki, ki a matou
Mo to awhina
Mo to aroha
whakapaingā matou katoa
Amene
Lord, greetings
for guiding us
for supporting us
for loving us
making us all well
Amen


Before eating:

E te Atua
Whakapainga ēnei kai
Hei oranga mo o matou tinana
Whangaia hoki o matou wairua
ki te taro o te ora
Ko ihu Karaiti hoki to matou Ariki
Ake! Ake!
Amene
Lord
Bless this food
To sustain our bodies
Feed also our souls
With the bread of life
Through Jesus Christ our Lord
Forever and ever
Amen
