God Defend New Zealand |
| 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. |
| E Ihoa Atua, |
| O nga Iwi! |
| Matoura, |
| Ata whakarongona; |
| Me aroha roa. |
| Kia hua ko te pai; |
| Kia tau to atawhai; |
| Manaakitia mai |
| Aotearoa. |
| Men of every creed and race |
| Gather here before thy face, |
| Asking thee to bless this place, |
| God defend our free land. |
| From dissension, envy, hate, |
| And corruption guard our state, |
| Make our country good and great, |
| God defend New Zealand. |
