Lyrics

KIA PAIMARIE He korero to te marae﻿ e He whakapapa to tupuna Me kawe te reo ataahua e Kite whenua o Tawhiro Anei ra nga kakano E tu kaha nei I te mauri Taiohi Me rongo ki te inoi Kia pai marie Kia pai marie

media type="youtube" key="Z2ToGR1Sb98" height="385" width="480" E Ihowa Atua, (Ihoa) O ngā iwi mātou rā, āta whakarongona; Me aroha noa. Kia hua ko te pai; Kia tau tō atawhai; Manaakitia mai 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. ======
