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
