Land of the summer sea,
Hawaii ponoi,
Full may thy blessings be,
This is our prayer.
Isles of the ocean crest,
Rainbow and cloud caressed,
Peace in thy dwellings rest,
Hawaii fair.
Land of the lava's flow,
Lit by the crater glow,
Sleeps where the waters blow,
Misty in air;
Crags of the starry height,
Plains in their golden light,
These are thy visions bright,
Hawaii fair.
Land of the cane and Palm,
Breathe to mankind a balm,
Make life a joyful psalm,
All men may share.
Rich in thy fruit and vine,
Crowned with love divine,
Bright may thy mercies shine,
Hawaii fair.
Land of the trustful heart,
Heir to all good thou art,
Choose thou the noble part,
Life's riches rare.
To thy full joys awake,
Let the glad anthem break,
Through all the ages make
Hawaii fair.
