Fakamālō ki he ʻOtua
Ngaahi Himí
(1994, 1994 ed.), 10
1. Fakamālō ki he ʻOtua,ʻI Heʻene fakanofo,ʻI māmani ha palōfita,Ke fai Hono finangalo,Mo tataki ʻa kitautolu,ʻI he meʻa ʻa e ʻOtua,Mo e hala ʻoku totonu,Ke tau maʻu ʻa e fonua.
2. Fakamālō he toe ʻomi,ʻA e kosipeli ʻo Sīsū,Ki māmani ʻi onopooni,Ki he Senitaile mo e Siu,Tau hiva ʻaki ʻEne ʻofa,Hiva he ʻaho mo e pō,Vīkiviki ʻia Sihova,He folofola kuo tō.
3. Pea neongo ʻa e manuki,ʻA e fakatanga ʻa e kakai,ʻE ʻikai lava ke taʻofi,ʻEne puna ʻa e matavai,He kuo pau pē ke mafola,ʻI he funga ʻo māmani,Ko e fakahaohaoaʻanga,ʻOe kakai māʻoniʻoni.
