E Ihowā Atua O ngā iwi mātou rā Āta whakarongona Me aroha noa Kia hua ko te pai Kia tau tō atawhai afar 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 God defend New Zealand
