Whakaaria Mai Hīmene (Hymn)- Lyrics Video - Waiata Māori Song

Whakaaria Mai is a well known hīmene or hymn. It has been performed regularly at events by many groups and artists. The hymn tune is most widely known as How Great Thou Art. The Māori verses were composed by Canon Wiremu Te Tau Huata, who served as a chaplain during WWII for the 28th (Māori) Battalion and composed many famous waiata. While set to the music of "How Great Thou Art", and often combined with the English version of this hymn, the Māori lyrics are instead a loose translation of the hymn "Abide with Me".
This version of the Whakaaria Mai song is performed by the Hono Collective featuring Elias Ashby.
