Lyrics

Ke Akua Mana Mau	Eternal, mighty God
Hoʻomaikaʻi, pōmaikaʻi	Bless us from your bright abode
I ka mōʻī	Our sovereign king
Kou lima mana mau	May your all powerful arm
Mālama kiaʻi mai	Ward from our sire all harm
Ko mākou nei mōʻī	Let no vile foe alarm
Ē ola ē.	Long may he reign.
Ka inoa kamahaʻo	Royal distinguished name
Lei nani o mākou	Our beauteous diadem
Ē ola ē	Long life be yours
Kou ʻēheu uhi mai	Thy wing spread over our land
Pale nā ʻino e	From every foe defend
Kā mākou pule no	To you our prayers ascend
Ē ola ē.	Long live our king.
I mua ou mākou	Before Thee
Ke aliʻi o nā Aliʻi	King of Kings
E aloha mai	Of Whom all nature sings
E mau ke ea ē	Our prayer we bring
ʻO ke aupuni nei	Oh let our kingdom live
E ola mau mākou	Life, peace and union give
Me ka mōʻī	Let all Thy care receive
Ē ola ē.	Bless Thou our king.
