If you don't know it already here is the maori and english versions:
Māori verse: "Aotearoa"
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
English verse: "God Defend New
Zealand"
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.
