ʻOku Mau Fakamālō

Longomoʻui

1. ʻOku mau fakamālō ki he ʻOtua,

Naʻe alea mo e tangata,

ʻO Ne fakanofo ko e palōfita,

Ke fokotuʻu ʻa e ngāue ʻa Sīsū.

[Chorus]

Fakafetaʻi ki hotau ʻOtua

ʻI heʻene tauhi ʻa e palōfita

ʻA ia ne foaki ʻEne moʻui,

Ko e fakamoʻoni ki māmani.

2. Hangē ko e kau palōfita ʻi muʻa,

Ne foaki ʻa ʻenau moʻui,

Ka ʻe totongi ki he kau angahala,

Heʻenau fakapō naʻe fai.

[Chorus]

Fakafetaʻi ki hotau ʻOtua

ʻI heʻene tauhi ʻa e palōfita

ʻA ia ne foaki ʻEne moʻui,

Ko e fakamoʻoni ki māmani.

3. Naʻe ʻikai ʻaonga ʻenau feinga,

Ke taʻofi ʻa e ngāue ʻa e ʻOtua,

ʻE monūʻia ʻa Siosefa Sāmita,

ʻIkai ngalo hono hingoa.

[Chorus]

Fakafetaʻi ki hotau ʻOtua

ʻI heʻene tauhi ʻa e palōfita

ʻA ia ne foaki ʻEne moʻui,

Ko e fakamoʻoni ki māmani.

4. Naʻe ʻomi ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki,

Siosefa ho toto kuo lilingi,

Māmani e mo e kau fakafepaki,

Lau miliona kuo nau ʻilo koe.

[Chorus]

Fakafetaʻi ki hotau ʻOtua

ʻI heʻene tauhi ʻa e palōfita

ʻA ia ne foaki ʻEne moʻui,

Ko e fakamoʻoni ki māmani.
