E tōku Atua, nāu nei au, i tēnei wā, ā i ngā tau mutunga kore,
Māu au e ārahi, ki te tuku atu i tōku katoa ki roto i ngā ringaringa o ō Manaakitanga,
i raro i te ngākau hihiko me te ngākau pono ki tō aroha nui.
Whakatōkia, E te Kaiwhakaora atawhai nui,
te ngākau iti ki roto i a au, e pā ana ki ō whakaritenga, ki ō mahinga katoa,
Tangohia ngā mamae nui o tōku ngākau;
kia kore ai au e mamae i tētahi mea kotahi, hāunga anō te hara,
kia kore ai au e rongo i te harikoa, hāunga anō tōku tūmanako kia riro au i a Koe
e tōku Atua, i roto i tō rangatiratanga mutunga kore.
Āmene
My God, I am yours for time and eternity,
Teach me to cast myself into the arms of your Providence
with the most lively, unlimited confidence in your compassionate, tender pity.
Grant me, O most merciful Redeemer,
that whatever you ordain or permit may always be acceptable to me,
Take from my heart all painful anxiety;
suffer nothing to sadden me but sin,
nothing to delight me, but the hope of coming to the possession of You
my God, in your everlasting kingdom.
Amen
