He Mele Lahui Hawaiʻi edit

Ka Makua mana loa Almighty Father bend thine ear
Maliu mai iâ mâkou And listen to a nation's prayer
E hâliu aku nei That lowly bows before thy throne
Me ka na`au ha`aha`a And seeks thy fostering care
E mau ka maluhia Grant your peace throughout the land
O nei pae `âina Over these sunny sea girt isles
Mai Hawai`i a Ni`ihau Keep the nation's life, oh Lord,
Ma lalo o kou malu And on our sovereign smile
   
Hui: Chorus:
E mau ke ea o ka `âina Grant your peace throughout the land
Ma kou pono mau Over these sunny isles
A ma kou mana nui Keep the nations life, oh Lord
E ola e ola ka mô`î And upon our sovereign smile
   
E ka haku mâlama mai Guard him with your tender care
I ko mâkou nei mô`î Give him length of years to reign
E mau kona noho `ana On the throne his fathers won
Maluna o ka noho ali`i Bless the nation once again
Hâ`awi mai i ke aloha Give the king your loving grace
Maloko a kona na`au And with wisdom from on high
A ma kou ahonui Prosperous lead his people on
E ola e ola ka mô`î As beneath your watchful eye
Ho`oho e mau ke Grant your peace throughout the land
   
Ma lalo o kou aloha nui Bless O Lord our country's chiefs
Na Li`i o ke Aupuni Grant them wisdom so to live
Me nâ maka`âinana That our people may be saved
Ka lehulehu nô a pau And to You the glory give
Kia`i mai iâ lâkou Watch over us day by day
Me ke aloha ahonui King and people with your love
E ola nô mâkou For our hope is all in You
I kou mana mau Bless us, You who reign above
E mau ke ea Grant your peace throughout the land
