Mau rakau

Karakia: Mau Rākau for Te Whare Tū taua ki Ukutoia

E te Kaihanga o tōku rākau

Oh sabre formed from Tāne Mahuta

E rere atu ana i roto i tēnei wānanga

Which binds me with you within this school of higher learning

Piri mai ngā whakaaro o ōku tupuna

May I be comforted by the guidance of my ancestors

hei manaaki i au

to aid my journey

Āmene

Amen
