1. ʻOku mau fakamālō ki he ʻOtua,
Naʻe alea mo e tangata,
ʻO Ne fakanofo ko e palōfita,
Ke fokotuʻu ʻa e ngāue ʻa Sīsū.
Fakafetaʻi ki hotau ʻOtua
ʻI heʻene tauhi ʻa e palōfita
ʻA ia ne foaki ʻEne moʻui,
Ko e fakamoʻoni ki māmani.
2. Hangē ko e kau palōfita ʻi muʻa,
Ne foaki ʻa ʻenau moʻui,
Ka ʻe totongi ki he kau angahala,
Heʻenau fakapō naʻe fai.
Fakafetaʻi ki hotau ʻOtua
ʻI heʻene tauhi ʻa e palōfita
ʻA ia ne foaki ʻEne moʻui,
Ko e fakamoʻoni ki māmani.
3. Naʻe ʻikai ʻaonga ʻenau feinga,
Ke taʻofi ʻa e ngāue ʻa e ʻOtua,
ʻE monūʻia ʻa Siosefa Sāmita,
ʻIkai ngalo hono hingoa.
Fakafetaʻi ki hotau ʻOtua
ʻI heʻene tauhi ʻa e palōfita
ʻA ia ne foaki ʻEne moʻui,
Ko e fakamoʻoni ki māmani.
4. Naʻe ʻomi ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki,
Siosefa ho toto kuo lilingi,
Māmani e mo e kau fakafepaki,
Lau miliona kuo nau ʻilo koe.
Fakafetaʻi ki hotau ʻOtua
ʻI heʻene tauhi ʻa e palōfita
ʻA ia ne foaki ʻEne moʻui,
Ko e fakamoʻoni ki māmani.
