ისტორია
 ჰიმნის სრული ტექსტი ინგლისურ ენაზე:  "God Defend New Zealand"1
 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.

2
 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.

3
 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.

4
 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.

5
 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.

 ჰიმნის სრული ტექსტი მაორულ ენაზე:  "Aotearoa" 1
 E Ihowā Atua,
 O ngā iwi mātou rā
 Āta whakarangona;
 Me aroha noa
 Kia hua ko te pai;
 Kia tau tō atawhai;
 Manaakitia mai
 Aotearoa

2
 Ōna mano tāngata
 Kiri whero, kiri mā,
 Iwi Māori, Pākehā,
 Rūpeke katoa,
 Nei ka tono ko ngā hē
 Māu e whakaahu kē,
 Kia ora mārire
 Aotearoa

3
 Tōna mana kia tū!
 Tōna kaha kia ū;
 Tōna rongo hei pakū
 Ki te ao katoa
 Aua rawa ngā whawhai
 Ngā tutū e tata mai;
 Kia tupu nui ai
 Aotearoa

4
 Waiho tona takiwā
 Ko te ao mārama;
 Kia whiti tōna rā
 Taiāwhio noa.
 Ko te hae me te ngangau
 Meinga kia kore kau;
 Waiho i te rongo mau
 Aotearoa

5
 Tōna pai me toitū
 Tika rawa, pono pū;
 Tōna noho, tāna tū;
 Iwi nō Ihowā.
 Kaua mōna whakamā;
 Kia hau te ingoa;
 Kia tū hei tauira;
 Aotearoa
