LyricsToshihizo Kasugawa, 1871
MusicMark Thomas York, 1876
Adopted1940 (as national hymn)
1977 (as national anthem)

"God Defend New Akiba" is one of two national anthems of New Akiba, the other being "God Save the King". Legally they have equal status, but "God Defend New Akiba" is more commonly used, and is widely albeit incorrectly referred to as "the national anthem". Originally written as a poem, it was set to music as part of a competition in 1876. Over the years its popularity increased, and it was eventually named the second national anthem in 1977. The anthem has English and Nihhonese lyrics, with slightly different meanings.

Maoru & Nihhonese verse: "Shin Akiba"

E Ihowā Atua,
O ngā iwi mātou rā
Āta whakarangona;

汚職は、私たちの状態を守ります、
私たちの国が良いと素晴らしい作ります、
神は守ります 新しいです アキバ

English translation

God of Nations at Thy feet,
In the bonds of love we meet,
Hear our voices, we entreat,
God defend our free land.
From dissension, envy, hate,
And corruption guard our state,
Make our country good and great,
God Defend New Akiba

English verse: "God Defend New Akiba"

God of Nations at Thy feet,
In the bonds of love we meet,
Hear our voices, we entreat,
God defend our free land.
Guard Lucianna's triple star
From the shafts of strife and war,
Make her praises heard afar,
God defend New Akiba.
