Leaving little by little
Are our friends
There is no rope that can restrain,
It will sever indeed*
*This hymn was composed by Lorenzo Lyons (loosely based off the poem by James Montgomery):
Ke hele liilii nei
Na hoa o kakou;
Aohe kaula e paa ai,
E moku ana no.
E hele liilii mau
A pau loa’e kakou,
Aohe hoa e kanikau,
Ua make like no.
E ala hou no nae,
A pii pu ae kakou,
Ke noho pono a maikai,
A komo i ke ao.
A hui pu ma o–
Na hoaaloha nei,
Aole e kaawale hou,
Pau loa ho ka uwe.
(Hoku o Hawaii, March 4, 1930)
