Lyrics
Ma ke alahele ‘o Iesū
I hālāwai aku ai
Me ke kanaka ‘ōpio hanohano
Kaulana i ka waiwai
Pane mai e ka ‘ōpio
E ku‘u Haku maika‘i
He aha ho‘i ka‘u e hana aku ai
I loa‘a e ke ola mau?
Hui:
E hā‘awi, e hā‘awi lilo
I kou mau waiwai
Huli a hahai mai ia‘u
I loa‘a e ke ola mau (iā ‘oe)
Minamina e ka ‘ōpio
I kona mau waiwai
I ke kū‘ai a hā‘awi lilo aku
I ka po‘e nele a hune
Huli a‘e ‘o Iesū lā
Pane aku i ka ‘ōpio
‘A‘ole a‘e hiki ke kanaka waiwai
I ke aupuni o ka lani
