Hollie Smith & Teeks - Whakaaria Mai (How Great Thou Art) 

I cried through the documentary "the volcano, rescue from Whakarri"... but really lost it when this song came on at the end

The Volcano Rescue from Whakaari brought me here 💕

Wakhaari Volcano brought me here - 😢; a beautiful tribute to victims and survivors

I am Black African American Woman. I have no clue what these words mean but I feel so much warmth and love in this song. This song is beautiful. ❤❤❤❤❤

I really love the maori version. I'm not maori but NZ is my home and if were to ever leave this place, I would really miss maori culture and people in general.

I feel like the angels it heaven were singing it with you! Thank all of you for such a beautiful rendition of a favourite hymn.

This is so beautiful! When I heard it at the end of The Volcano documentary, I had to find it in itunes to add to my playlist. Teek’s voice is so beautiful!

The older I get the harder it seems to finish singing this song cos you feel the pain you felt for everyone you've had to sing it for in the past. A song that sums up a lifetime of love and loss.

Absolutely Beautiful.....always makes me cry no matter what version 😢

I came from volcano 🌋 documentary 🥺♥️ in love with this song 🥺💔

This has been my all-time favorite Gospel song since I was five years old (I'm in my sixties now); I heard it for the very first time, when my favorite Auntie played her piano and sang it to me. She's gone Home now.⛅ I just heard this rendition at the end of the Netflix program about the volcano; just the first three notes, and I burst into tears, 'cause I knew exactly what it was. I wept for missing my Auntie; I wept for the people who had suffered life-altering injuries; I wept for those who had succumbed, and those who grieve the loss of their loved ones. This piece of music was the most excellent, beautiful, fitting tribute to them that could possibly be offered up. Thank you for this wonderful Gift.💗

This song is heartbreaking and achingly beautiful!

I had to find this song after watching The Volcano on Netflix. Beautiful 💕

The entire documentary of The Volcano tragedy, everything comes together in this song I've listened to breathlessly. There's no words, just this immaculate song.

I've always loved this song ever i was a little girl. I've heard many versions, which were also beautiful.. but STILL none touched me so deeply as THIS one. It makes me cry....for many reasons, but also because these singers sing it SO incredibly beautiful.

God hears the worship songs written for the soul and every tongue confess that He is King of kings and Lord of Lords amen 💖😇🎵💖😇🎵💖

What a Beautiful Song and Beautiful Voices paying Tribute to those who are forever lost and injured😢 May they always be remembered with Healing Thoughts of Love and Light surrounding All ❤🙏🕯️

OMG Teeks & Holly are both national treasures in my eyes, Te Kaha NZ.

R.I.P to all Whakaari victims 😔💔

Glory to God almighty our heavenly father our creator and his son Jesus and the holy spirit 6:17 i ask you God to guide us and protect us and to bless those with faith and hope father in Jesus name amene

I'm not religious, but this sings to my soul in Maori ❤️

Beyond beautiful. Beyond moving. Beyond powerful. Hallelujah.

I WAS AT HOME, AND THIS WAS OFFERED AT HAGLEY PARK, AND HAD ME ON MY FEET IN WORSHIP! THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE SIR HOWARD SANG BEFORE THE QUEEN.... WHAT AN OFFERING MADE TODAY!

I'm a South African Hindu of South Indian descent - and this song is amazing - thank you!

This gave me goosebumps and I had tears so beautiful

Cried tears of joy when I saw King Homeboy in this song. He is a Wellington/Cuba Street icon.

Only just discovered this version of one of my favourite hymns, brought me to tears. Thank you ❤

My favorite hymn...love your arrangement....and beautiful vocals.....God bless you both for this magnificent treasure....🙏❤

I would love to hear this recorded so beautiful.

I love how Hollie gently harmonizes with Teeks. The beauty of the kupu, the beauty of this waiata is stunning.

This song 😭😭❤️❤️ so many memories, thoughts, emotions and feelings.

Teeks your voice touches my soul deeply. Thank you 💖

I love this song. Was sung at my grans funeral but I have a huge side of my family that is maori. I love learning more of the language whenever I can and love this song. This is always home

I was at Hagley Park today and you helped to bring more healing to Otautahi. It brought the pain of these past weeks to the surface and easier to deal with. Love always ♥️

I’m here from the Netflix documentary “The Volcano” 😢

Love this ! Proud Kiwi right here ! Thank you Lord 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Whakaaria mai Tōu rīpeka ki au Tiaho mai Hei/Rā roto i te pō Hei kona au Titiro atu ai. Ora, mate, Hei au koe noho ai (Show your cross to me. Let it shine there in the darkness. To there I will be looking. In life, in death, let me rest in thee) Oh Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder Thy power throughout the universe displayed Then sings my soul my savior God to Thee How great Thou art How great Thou art Then sings my soul my savior God to Thee How great Thou art how great Thou art.

And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.” 🙏

This was played at my relatives funeral as the casket came in, it was a moment ill never forget. Thank you for one of the greatest songs / song covers I've ever heard

Wow! What a uplifting video. Great work!

Music is one of the many pleasures life has to offer. How you can attach it to a certain memory and the feelings it can bring out of you. Literally broke down in tears for 20min after listening to this as it took me back to the moment we closed my Nana's casket and this was the song we sung when doing so. Amazing cover to an amazing song. Well done!!!

The most powerful song on the planet and beyond

Beautiful, I love this song, absolutely fabulous voices.
