A simple hymn sung when beginning a communal project.

E toru nga mea
Nga mea nui
E kī ana
Te Paipera
Tumanako
Whakapono
Ko te mea nui
Ko te aroha.
      There are three things
very important things
as stated in
the Bible
Hope
Faith
and the greatest thing,
Charity.
     




I Corinthians 13:13

And now abideth faith, hope, charity - these three - but the greatest of these is charity.
Na, tenei te mau nei te whakapono, te tumanako, te aroha - enei e toru - ko te mea nui rawa ia o enei ko te aroha.
