New Zealand National Anthem


 If you visit New Zealand, you will amaze to the wonder of the place, from the land, buildings, road, even the politics is so awesome, you will experience things and happening that you cannot experience in your own country...The Lord really bless this country, why?...first I think because of their National anthem, it honors God the creator of the heaven and the earth and it is not self centered.

God Defend New Zealand

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 dis honor 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.
E Ihowä Atua, O ngä iwi mätouä
Äta whakarongona; Me aroha noa
Kia hua ko te pai; Kia tau tö atawhai;
Manaakitia mai Aotearoa
Öna mano tangata Kiri whero, kiri mä,
Iwi Mäori Päkehä, Repeke katoa,
Nei ka tono ko ngä hë Mäu e whakaahu kë,
Kia ora märire Aotearoa
Töna mana kia tü! Töna kaha kia ü;
Töna rongo hei pakü Ki te ao katoa
Aua rawa ngä whawhai Ngä tutü a tata mai;
Kia tupu nui ai Aotearoa
Waiha tona takiwä Ko te ao märama;
Kia whiti töna räTaiäwhio noa.Ko te hae me te ngangau
Meinga kia kore kau; Waiho i te rongo mau
Aotearoa Töna pai me toitü
Tika rawa, ponu pü; Töna noho, tana tü;
Iwi nö Ihowä. Kaua möna whakamä;
Kia hau te ingoa; Kia tü hei tauira;
Aotearoa
