Who Will Convey My Message Who will convey my message of loyalty to my Sovereign who sitteth before me. With my very own hands will I bear it to my Sovereign on high and to her consort. Who am I that darest to approach thy sacred presence? Tis I, Tis the People of Aotearoa. Good luck, welcome, and then farewell. The formal welcome in the evening. The verse above is one of the action songs specially written for the occasion.
