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 bond 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.
