Collect for the First Sunday of Advent
When Christ appears
God of hope,
When Christ your Son appears
may he not find us asleep or idle,
but active in his service and ready;
through the same Jesus Christ our Redeemer.
Amen
E te Atua o te tūmanako,
kia puta mai tāu Tama te Karaiti
aua ia e kite i a mātou e moe ana, e
māngere ana,
engari kia tū mataara i roto i āna
mahi;
E īnoi ai mātou i roto i a te Karaiti tō
mātou Kaihoko. Āmine.
