Kolo ko Pētelihemá
ʻI he loto-melino
1. Kolo ko Pētelihemá,
ne ʻaloʻi ai.
ʻA Sīsū Kalaisi ko ho-
tau Fakamoʻui.
Ne taki ʻa e fononga,
he fetuʻu ngingila,
Ko e ngaahi fakaʻānaua,
ne hoko kotoa.
2. Ne ʻaloʻi ʻa Kalaisi,
ʻe Mele ko e faʻē.
Lolotonga naʻe leʻo
ʻe he kau ʻāngelo.
Ko e fetuʻu ngingila,
fakahā ʻa e tama,
Melino ki he māmani,
ki hotau ʻEiki.
3. Ne toka pē ʻa e tama,
ʻo e talaʻofa.
Foaki mei he ʻOtua,
ko hotau haoʻanga.
Fanongo ʻa māmani,
kuo ʻaloʻi mai,
Ko Sīsū ko e Kalaisi,
kuo hāʻele mai.
