VERSE 1:
O Hawaii, O sands of my birth
My native home
I rejoice in the blessings of heaven
O Hawaii, aloha.

CHORUS:
Happy youth of Hawaii
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Gentle breezes blow
Love always for Hawaii.

VERSE 2:
May your divine throngs speak
Your loving people, O Hawaii
The holy light from above
O Hawaii, aloha.

(repeat chorus)

VERSE 3:
God protects you
Your beloved ridges
Your ever glistening streams
Your beautiful flower gardens.

(repeat chorus)
