E Ihowa Atua
O ngā iwi mātou rā
Āta whakarongona
Me aroha noa
Kia hua ko te pai
Kia tau tō atawhai
Manaakitia mai
Aotearoa |
God of nations at thy feet
In the bonds of love we meet
Hear our voices we entreat
God defend our free land
Guard Pacific's triple star
From the shafts of strife and war
Make her praises heard afar
God defend New Zealand

| English Translation of Māori Lyrics
O Lord, God
Of all people

Cherish us
May good flourish
May your blessings flow
Defend

E toru ngā mea
Ngā mea nunui
E kī ana
Te Paipera
Whakapono
Tūmanako
Ko te mea nui
Ko te aroha |

There are three
great things
That are spoken of
in the Bible
Faith
Hope
And the greatest of all
Love |
