E te Wairua Tapu,
tukua mai ki a mātou e mahi nei mō tāu Hāhi
ki te whakatika i ngā mea kino,
ki te whakakaha i tērā e mau tonu ana,
ki te whai hoki i a koe
ahakoa ki hea, mā hea rānei, māu hoki mātou e arahi.
E īnoi ana mātou i roto i a te Karaiti tō mātou Ariki.
Āmine.

Holy Spirit,
grant us who serve your Church to mend what is spoiled,
to strengthen what is sound,
and to follow you wherever and however you may lead.
This we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
