1 Te Atua mou o Betela
tei kore e tuke,
Te Atua o te Ai-metua

Toou peau aroa mou oora ua mai:

Toou peau aroa mou oora ua mai,

[ENGLISH translation not for singing]
1 The God of Bethel
who never changes,
God of our forebears
now dead.
Refrain:
Spread your wings of love over us
to protect us.
Spread your wings of love over us
night and day.
2 Through the desert
we journey
we have no permanent
resting place. [Refrain]
3 Lead us,
give us a loving heart;
feed us according to your will
that our hearts may be righteous. [Refrain]
