Rū ana te whenua

Ka tū pou tonu

Kauae ki runga

Tē tū tahanga ana

Ko te Kaiwhakaora

E pīata mai rā

Ahakoa ngā tini whakawainga

Ka ū te whatumanawa

Taiāmio ai ngā momo hau āwhā

E haumaru tonu ana

Ka upane te tū me te Kaiwhakaora

Hihiko ana, Tōna wairua

Kānapa Tōna mārama ki te ao

Kauae ki runga, whakanuia

Uuu, Uuu

He tamaiti aroha

tātou katoa

Nā Te Atua

Kaua rawa e huna

Matike, maranga!

Me ko Tama-nui-te-rā

Ahakoa ngā tini whakawainga

Ka ū te whatumanawa

Taiāmio ai ngā momo hau āwhā

E haumaru tonu ana

Ka upane te tū me te Kaiwhakaora

Hihiko ana, Tōna wairua

Kānapa Tōna mārama ki te ao

Kauae ki runga, whakanuia

Uuu, Uuu

Ka upane te tū me te Kaiwhakaora

Hihiko ana, Tōna wairua

Kānapa Tōna mārama ki te ao

Kauae ki runga, whakanuia

Kauae ki runga, whakanuia
