Ka ne ‘ave ki he ‘Eiki
Si‘o ngaahi fu ‘u mo‘ua,
Te ne ala pē ‘o hiki

Te ne toho pē ke ofi;
‘Au pē hono ma‘ama‘a,
Tu‘u totonu ‘o mālohi,
Fangofua ‘a e faingata‘a.
‘Oku ai ho ‘ahi‘ahi?
‘Ave kia Sīsū ē;
Kuo tō mai ha mamahi?
Tala ki ho Ta‘okete.
Ko ho To‘utakanga hena
‘Oku talitali ia
Ke ne fua ho‘o kavenga
Fakaai ho mafasia
