(Strangely enough, the one that includes the line "but should foes asale our coast, make us the a mighty hoste" gets left out a lot...

Also, last I looked, God Save The Queen was still officially our (second) national anthem.... It just only gets used where the Queen actually being involved in the event is the important part...

SPEAKING ON 16TH JANUARY 2023... Sadly now, the national anthem of New Zealand called ''God Defend New Zealand'' all written in feminine was no longer with us. We have lost Her Majesty's Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022. She died at the age of 96. In fact, this is ''God Defend New Zealand'' in masculine. A new King in the UK, a new reigning monarch, a new era of royal family members and a new head of the Commonwealth. King Charles III. There are 56 countries of the Commonwealth. Russell Watson, Aled Jones, Alfie Boe, Michael Ball, Vincent Niclo, Andrea Bocelli, Mario Frangoulis, Katherine Jenkins, Laura Wright, Sarah Brightman, Hayley Westenra, Charlotte Church, Carmen Monarcha, Andre Rieu, Carla Maffioletti, Kimmy Skota, Mairead Nesbitt, Orla Fallon, Meav Ni Mhaolchatha, Chloe Agnew, Lisa Kelly, Simon Rattle, Mirusia Louwerse, Anna Majchrzak, Ellen Williams, London Symphony Orchestra, Singapore Symphony Orchestra, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, the Celtic Woman team and the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra can sing. It has only one verse in Maori and five verses in English Here are the lyrics. #GodDefendNewZealand #GodSaveTheQueen #QueenElizabethII #GodSaveTheKing #KingCharlesIII #RussellWatson #AledJones #AlfieBoe #MichaelBall #VincentNiclo #AndreaBocelli #MarioFrangoulis #KatherineJenkins #LauraWright #SarahBrightman #HayleyWestenra #CharlotteChurch #CarmenMonarcha #AndreRieu #CarlaMaffioletti #KimmySkota #MaireadNesbitt #OrlaFallon #MeavNiMhaolchatha #ChloeAgnew #LisaKelly #SimonRattle #MirusiaLouwerse #AnnaMajchrzak #EllenWilliams #LondonSymphonyOrchestra #SingaporeSymphonyOrchestra #BerlinPhilharmonicOrchestra #CelticWoman #RTENationalSymphonyOrchestra (VERSE 1 ONLY IN MAORI) (VERSE 1) E Ihowā Atua, O ngā iwi mātou rā Āta whakarangona; Me aroha noa Kia hua ko te pai; Kia tau tō atawhai; Manaakitia ana Aotearoa (VERSES 2-6 IN ENGLISH) (VERSE 2) 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 his praises heard afar, God defend New Zealand. (VERSE 3) 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. (VERSE 4) 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. (VERSE 5) 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 his with immortal fame, God defend New Zealand. (VERSE 6) May our mountains ever be Freedom's ramparts on the sea, Make us faithful unto Thee, God defend our free land. Guide his in the nations' van, Preaching love and truth to man, Working out Thy glorious plan, God defend New Zealand.
