Le Ekalesia toe fuata’iina

Le Perofeta Iosefa Samita

Itagia ‘e le lalolagi

Le ‘upu moni na ia fuata’i

O Moronae na sao i le lagi

E fa’atonu i ona ta’ita’i

E fa’atū le talalelei

E so’o ai o le lalolagi

Tasi valu lua tolu (1823), na maua ai le fa’aaliga

O Papa Tusi sa nātia

Ina ‘ia leoleoina

Maua loa le fa’atonuga

O ia na te toe lagaina

Fa’aliliu i le Urima

Lenei ua ta taulimaina

Ua ese le lalolagi

O lotu uma ua fa’atasi

‘Ae fa’a’esea ai ‘oe ma ita

I le igoa o Iosefa Samita

I le tonu o le tala’iga

Ua ia fa’avaeina

Perisitua ma le mana, ma le fa’ae’e o lima
