"Pā Nahe Maila Ko Iesū Kāhea" is a Hawaiian version of the hymn "Softly and Tenderly Jesus is Calling", translated by Hualalai.
Pā nahe maila ko Iesū kāhea
Kāhea nou a noʻu nei
Aia ke kali a kiaʻi nei ʻO ia
Kiaʻi nei nou a noʻu nei
Hui:
Hoʻi mai, hoʻi mai
E ka mea luhi, hoʻi mai
ʻOlu ka leo i pā nahe maila
E ka mea hewa, hoʻi mai
Mai hoʻololohi ke ʻuao nei Iesū lā
ʻUao maila nou a noʻu nei
Hōʻole anei i nā pōmaikaʻi lani
Pōmaikaʻi nou a noʻu nei
Kupaianaha ko Iesū aloha
Aloha laʻi nou a noʻu nei
Kala nō ʻO ia ke hewa kākou lā
Kala iā kāua, kuʻu hoa
