- E Ihowā Atua,
- O ngā iwi mātou rā
- Āta whakarongona;
- Me aroha noa
- Kia hua ko te pai;
- Kia tau tō atawhai;
- Manaakitia mai
- Aotearoa
- Ōna mano tāngata
- Kiri whero, kiri mā,
- Iwi Māori Pākehā,
- Rūpeke katoa,
- Nei ka tono ko ngā hë
- Māu e whakaahu kë,
- Kia ora mārire
- Aotearoa
- Tōna mana kia tū!
- Tōna kaha kia ū;
- Tōna rongo hei pakū
- Ki te ao katoa
- Aua rawa ngā whawhai
- Ngā tutū a tata mai;
- Kia tupu nui ai
- Aotearoa
- Waiho tona takiwā
- Ko te ao mārama;
- Kia whiti tōna rā
- Taiāwhio noa.
- Ko te hae me te ngangau
- Meinga kia kore kau;
- Waiho i te rongo mau
- Aotearoa
- Tōna pai me toitū
- Tika rawa, pono pū;
- Tōna noho, tana tū;
- Iwi nō Ihowā.
- Kaua mōna whakamā;
- Kia hau te ingoa;
- Kia tū hei tauira;
- Aotearoa
