Lyrics:
Our God we come to you
and find our shelter
in the shadow of your wings
Restore us as we wait
and heal our suffering
as you renew in us
our hope again
The valleys of despair will gently rise up
the hills around won’t echo pain
Our land awaits for you
Wairua tapu tau mai ra
And by your grace we will prevail
though wounded yet we bring to you
our offering
For your great love will never fail
because in God we trust
we know our hearts can sing
Yes by your grace we will prevail
we will take courage from our God for Ōtautahi
Yes by your grace we will prevail
we will take courage from our God
we will take courage from our God
we will take courage from our God
for Ōtautahi
