Lyrics
change| 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. |
