Collect for the Fourth Sunday in Lent
Teach us to see all things for good
God of unchangeable power,
when you fashioned the world
the morning stars sang together
and the host of heaven shouted for joy;
open our eyes to the wonders of creation
and teach us to see all things for good,
to the honour of your glorious name;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
E te Atua o te kaha e kore nei e memeha,
mai i tāu waihangatanga i te ao,
ka waiata ngā whetū mārama o te ata,
ka umere ngā rangi katoa i te koa;
huakina ō mātou karu kia kitea ai ngā
mīharo o tāu nei ao,
whakaakona hoki mātou kia mārama te pai
o ngā mea katoa,
kia whai hōnore tōu ingoa korōria;
ko Īhu Karaiti tō mātou Ariki.
Āmine.
