ʻOku Maʻongoʻonga ē Hoʻo ʻOfa
ʻI he loto-ʻapasia
1. ʻOku maʻongoʻonga ē,
Hoʻo ʻofa Sīsū ē,
Taki au Ho Laumālié,
Ke ʻoua naʻá ku hē,
ʻAve ʻeku angahalá,
Pea fakangalomiá
Huhuʻi ē mahuʻingá,
Ki hotau faʻahingá.
2. ʻOku maʻongoʻonga ē,
Kuo hā ho ivi pē,
Neongo ʻa e vaivaí,
Ka ʻokú ke tataki,
Hoku hala ki he ʻEikí,
Hala ʻoku fāsiʻi,
Huhuʻi ē mahuʻingá,
Heʻikai hē ha tahá.
3. ʻOku maʻongoʻonga ē,
Fakafiemālié,
Ki he loto naʻe ʻauhē,
ʻI he vanu ʻo e maté,
Fakanonga ʻa e peaú,
Ko ha lotomaumaú,
Huhuʻi ē mahuʻingá,
Nofo ai taʻe ngatá.
