E Ihowa Atua,　O nga iwi matoua　　Ata whakarongona;　Me aroha noa　Kia hua ko te pai;　Kia tau to atawhai;　Manaakitia mai　Aotearoa

Ona mano tangata　Kiri whero, kiri ma,　Iwi Maori Pakeha,　Repeke katoa,　Nei ka tono ko nga he　Mau e whakaahu ke,　Kia ora marire　Aotearoa

Tona mana kia tu!　Tona kaha kia u;　Tona rongo hei paku　Ki te ao katoa　Aua rawa nga whawhai　Nga tutu a tata mai;　Kia tupu nui ai　Aotearoa

Waiha tona takiwa　Ko te ao marama;　Kia whiti to na ra　Taia whio noa.　Ko te hae me te ngangau　Meinga kia kore kau;　Waiho i te rongo mau　Aotearoa

Tona pai me toitu　Tika rawa, ponu pu;　Tona noho, tana tu;　Iwi no Ihowa.　Kaua mona whakama;　Kia hau te ingoa;　Kia tu hei tauira;　Aotearoa

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.

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.

Peace, not war, shall be our boast,　But, should foes assail our coast,　Make us then a mighty host,　God defend our free land　Lord of battles, in Thy might,
Put our enemies to flight,　Let our cause be just and right,　God defend New Zealand.

Let our love for thee increase,　May thy blessings never cease,　Give us plenty, give us peace,　God defend our free land.　From dishonour and from shame,
Guard our country's spotless name,　Crown her with immortal fame,　God defend New Zealand.

May our mountains ever be　Freedoms ramparts on the sea,　Make us faithful unto Thee,　God defend our free land.　Guide her in the nations' van,
Preaching love and truth to man,　Working out Thy glorious plan,　God defend New Zealand.
