D                G
Mo-nū e ka ko ha mo-nū
D                    A   A7
‘E-tau ma‘u ha ‘Eiki ‘ofa
D     D7         G
‘O-ku tali ‘etau lo-tu,
D     A      A7       D
Kau he‘e-tau me-‘a ko-toa.
A                 D  D7
‘O-ku ai hatau ma-ma-hi?
G     D           A
Fa-ka-hā ki he ‘O-tua.
D     D7        G   
‘A-lu atu ‘o te-ka-ki,
D     A      A7   D
Te ne kau ‘i hono fua.

Ko ‘etau kavenga ‘ia,
‘Etau mafasia ē,
Ko e ‘ahi‘ahi fafa
‘Etau me‘a kotoa pē
Ko e to‘e ni mo ngala
Ho‘o tautolu pē fo‘ui,
Ko e fie ha‘a mo taha
‘A e mamafa he mo‘ui.

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