Ka Makua mana loa
Maliu mai iā mākou
E hāliu aku nei
Me ka naʻau haʻahaʻa
E mau ka maluhia
O nei pae ʻāina
Mai Hawaiʻi a Niʻihau
Ma lalo o kou malu
Hui:
E mau ke ea o ka ʻāina
Ma kou pono mau
A ma kou mana nui
E ola e ola ka mōʻī
E ka haku mālama mai
I ko mākou nei mōʻī
E mau kona noho ʻana
Maluna o ka noho aliʻi
Hāʻawi mai i ke aloha
Maloko a kona naʻau
A ma kou ahonui
E ola e ola ka mōʻī
Hoʻoho e mau ke
Ma lalo o kou aloha nui
Na Liʻi o ke Aupuni
Me nā makaʻāinana
Ka lehulehu nō a pau
Kiaʻi mai iā lākou
Me ke aloha ahonui
E ola nō mākou
I kou mana mau
E mau ke ea

Hawaiian Coat of Arms

Almighty Father bend thine
ear
And listen to a nation's
prayer
That lowly bows before thy
throne
And seeks thy fostering
care
Grant your peace throughout the
land
Over these sunny sea girt
isles
Keep the nation's life, oh
Lord,
And on our sovereign
smile
Chorus:
Grant your peace throughout the
land
Over these sunny isles
Keep the nations life, oh
Lord
And upon our sovereign
smile
Guard him with your tender
care
Give him length of years to
reign
On the throne his fathers
won
Bless the nation once
again
Give the king your loving
grace
And with wisdom from on
high
Prosperous lead his people
on
As beneath your watchful
eye
Grant your peace throughout the
land
Bless O Lord our country's
chiefs
Grant them wisdom so to
live
That our people may be
saved
And to You the glory
give
Watch over us day by day
King and people with your
love
For our hope is all in
You
Bless us, You who reign
above
Grant your peace throughout the
land

November, 1866 by Queen Liliʻuokalani, at the request of
Kamehameha V, this was the Hawaii National Anthem until
1967, when Hawaiʻi Ponoʻi was declared the state song. The
two warriors pictured on the Coat of Arms are twin brothers,
Kamanawa and Kameʻeiamoku, uncles of Kamehameha I. Copyright 1872
