New Zealand is unique in that it has two National Anthems: "God Defend New Zealand" with words by Thomas Bracken, and music by Joseph Woods, and "God Save the Queen." Both anthems are considered equal, but "God Defend New Zealand" is the most commonly used.
In the Maori it is:
E Ihoa Atua,
O nga Iwi Matoura,
Ata whaka rongona;
Me aroha noa.
Kia hua ko te pai;
Kia tau to atawhai;
Manaakitia mai

From the shafts of strife and war,
Make her praises heard afar,
