Find out everything you need to know about the New Zealand National Anthem







There are actually two New Zealand national anthems, God Defend New Zealand and God Save The Queen.

New Zealand national anthem God Defend New Zealand-English Version

God of Nations at Thy feet, In the bonds of love we meet, Hear our voices, we entreat, God defend our free land. Guard Pacific's triple star From the shafts of strife and war, Make her praises heard afar, God defend New Zealand.

Men of every creed and race, Gather here before Thy face, Asking Thee to bless this place, God defend our free land. From dissension, envy, hate, And corruption guard our state, Make our country good and great, God defend New Zealand.

Peace, not war, shall be our boast, But, should foes assail our coast, Make us then a mighty host, God defend our free land. Lord of battles in Thy might, Put our enemies to flight, Let our cause be just and right, God defend New Zealand.

Let our love for Thee increase, May Thy blessings never cease, Give us plenty, give us peace, God defend our free land. From dishonour and from shame, Guard our country's spotless name, Crown her with immortal fame, God defend New Zealand.

May our mountains ever be Freedom's ramparts on the sea, Make us faithful unto Thee, God defend our free land. Guide her in the nations' van, Preaching love and truth to man, Working out Thy glorious plan, God defend New Zealand.

New Zealand national anthem God Defend New Zealand-Mâori Version

E Ihowâ Atua, O ngâ iwi mâtou râ Âta whakarangona; Me aroha noa Kia hua ko te pai; Kia tau tô atawhai; Manaakitia mai Aotearoa

Ôna mano tângata Kiri whero, kiri mâ, Iwi Mâori, Pâkehâ, Rûpeke katoa, Nei ka tono ko ngâ hç Mâu e whakaahu kç, Kia ora mârire Aotearoa

Tôna mana kia tû! Tôna kaha kia û; Tôna rongo hei pakû Ki te ao katoa Aua rawa ngâ whawhai Ngâ tutû e tata mai; Kia tupu nui ai Aotearoa

Waiho tona takiwâ Ko te ao mârama; Kia whiti tôna râ Taiâwhio noa. Ko te hae me te ngangau Meinga kia kore kau; Waiho i te rongo mau Aotearoa

Tôna pai me toitû Tika rawa, pono pû; Tôna noho, tâna tû; Iwi nô Ihowâ. Kaua môna whakamâ; Kia hau te ingoa; Kia tû hei tauira; Aotearoa
