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.
