[Xmas] Te Harinui
Not on a snowy night
By star or candle light
Nor by an angel
There came to our dear land

Te harinui, te harinui, te harinui
Glad tidings of great joy!

But on a summers day
Within a quiet bay
The Maori people heard
The great and glorious word

Te harinui, te harinui, te harinui
Glad tidings of great joy!

The people gathered round
Upon the grassy ground
And hear the preacher say
“I bring to you this day…”

Te harinui, te harinui, te harinui
Glad tidings of great joy!

Now in this blessed land
united heart and hand
we praise the glorious birth
and sing to all the earth

Te harinui, te harinui, te harinui
Glad tidings of great joy!
