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

E Ihoa Atua,
O nga Iwi! Matoura,
Ata whakarongona;
Me aroha roa
Kia hua ko te pai;
Kia tau to atawhai;
Manaakitia mai
Aotearoa

Men of every creed and race
Gather here before thy face,
Asking thee to bless this place,
God defend our free land
From dissension, envy, hate,
And corruption guard our state,
Make our country good and great,
God defend New Zealand
