Lyrics

1. 1. Naʻe ʻafioʻi pē ʻe Sīsū,
   Kuo ofi ʻenau māvae,
   Naʻá Ne tala ki he kau akó,
   Ke ʻoua te nau mamahí.
2. ʻO ka tau ka māvae
   ʻofa ke tau toe fakataha
   ʻI he kolo ʻo e ʻOtuá
   ʻI he kolo ko Hēvani.
3. 2. Naʻá Ne talaʻofa ʻo pehē,
   Te u ʻalu ki he Tamai,
   ʻO teuteu ha nofoʻanga lahí,
   Ke tau fakataha ki ai.
4. ʻO ka tau ka māvae
   ʻofa ke tau toe fakataha
   ʻI he kolo ʻo e ʻOtuá
   ʻI he kolo ko Hēvani.
5. 3. ʻO ka tau ka tutuku ʻi hení,
   Ke tau māvae ʻi he ʻEikí,
   Pea tau maʻu ʻa e talaʻofá,
   Ko e moʻui taʻe ngatá.
6. ʻO ka tau ka māvae
   ʻofa ke tau toe fakataha
   ʻI he kolo ʻo e ʻOtuá
   ʻI he kolo ko Hēvani.
7. 4. Te tau toe fakataha ʻafē,
   ʻI he kolo ʻo e ʻOtuá,
   ʻO ka ʻosi ʻa e nofo taimí,
   Te tau ʻi he kolo ʻofá.
8. ʻO ka tau ka māvae
   ʻofa ke tau toe fakataha
   ʻI he kolo ʻo e ʻOtuá
   ʻI he kolo ko Hēvani.
9. 6. ʻE Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní,
   Ke ke angi ʻi Ho Siasí,
   Fakamoʻoni ʻa e palōmesí
   Te Ne hoko ko e fetongí.
10. 5. ʻEiki ke Ke tokoni mai
    Ki ho kakai vaivai;
    Ke mau tuʻu maʻu ʻi he tuí,
    Ke ʻoua naʻa mau hē.
11. ʻO ka tau ka māvae
    ʻofa ke tau toe fakataha
    ʻI he kolo ʻo e ʻOtuá
    ʻI he kolo ko Hēvani.
12. ʻO ka tau ka māvae
    ʻofa ke tau toe fakataha
    ʻI he kolo ʻo e ʻOtuá
    ʻI he kolo ko Hēvani.
