GOD DEFEND NEW ZEALAND - New Zealand National Anthem - FULL LENGTH 

I am Chinese. I have been to NZ 23 years now! I came here alone with 25kg travel bag 22 years ago. I finished university here, and now I am a mom with 2 strong boys. Our family loves nz, we are kiwi 🥝 now. ❤️ we love nz people, friendly, kind, open-minded. Nz is our country. I keep telling my boys, we need to do our best to contribute to our country nz. No matter where you boys go in the future, never forget nz raised you and do your duty when nz needs you.

What a beautiful and devotional national anthem from the heart of the people of great Dominion of New Zealand. In Canada we have GOD keep our land glorious and free. In New Zealand you have GOD defend our free land GOD defend New Zealand, that's good.

This is the best Anthem on the planet. Sending love and respect from USA. NZ is my dream destination.

"Men of every creed and race, gather here before thy face." Best lyrics.

i was an australian but i move to new zealand 12 years ago, now i am a police of NZ , god defend new zealand.

The Kiwis... Not the strongest, not the loudest, not the biggest... But never will you find more loyal people. The Kiwis were the first commonwealth nation to aid us in WWII, later that day, Australia joined them, then a few days later, Canada. To give what little strength a young nation has to fight for a nation you gained independence from an ocean away without thought for yourself at the outbreak of what would be the most devastating conflict we would ever see... Thank you New Zealand. Thank you. Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK... We are one. All of us. Britain will never forget what you gave for us.

We are from the US and visited the south island of New Zealand several years ago and found it to be one the most beautiful places we have ever been. The residents are very friendly and we would love to return someday.

At my workplace during the 2 minutes silence, one week after the tragedy, we listened to the radio and they played this very version of the national anthem. A few sung, a few cried, but we all stood and bowed to remember all those who died. Never have I been more proud to be a Kiwi.

Absolutely love both this anthem and New Zealand. Greetings from North Africa.

One of the most chill anthems i've ever heard

Love from Bangladesh🇧🇩💖🇭🇲

New Zealand, Christchurch. The world stands with you today.

My father is from New Zealand, I live in America with him. There is never a day I'm not proud to say that I'm a dual citizen of such a noble country. My dream it's to return home and truly experience my culture. (Maori) I wish I was there as I write this. I will go back someday, whenever that may be. I am proud to be a kiwi!

Very proud to be a Kiwi God defend Aotearoa New Zealand

Got to love New Zealand. On 9/11/2001 the people of New Zealand sang the American national anthem in honor of those who died in the World Trade Center. It shows the bond we share not only as two nations but as a people. Brothers till the end. God defend New Zealand! If there was a nation that learned how to keep it's beauty and give birth to such remarkable people, its New Zealand!

I'm swiss but I lived with my parents in NZ for the first 3 years of my life. I don't remember much about that time but this anthem gives me the chills and some kind of sweet sadness crawls around in my heart. Maybe I'm more connected to NZ than I thought. I want to go back so badly!!! One of the most beautiful places on earth!

Glad I'm a New Zealander

The NZ national anthem is one of my new favorite songs. I was only there for 8 weeks but it still has a big spot in my heart. this song is beautiful!!!!!!!

I'm Canadian. Until the other day, I had never heard New Zealand's anthem. It is a beautiful anthem.

So beutiful. Makes me cry. I love it. So nice. I could listen to it all day and night. Greetings from the USA!!!!

The national anthem reminded me the time when I was studied in New Zealand. God!!! I miss that place and the people there!!! It is just the best country I have been in. God BLESS NEW ZEALAND and may god defend New Zealand!!

i only stayed in nz for the shortest time but i can sing their anthem by heart. i fell inlove with the country as soon as i landed. this song reminds me of my stay ...

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. Men of every creed and race, Gather here before Thy face, Asking Thee to bless this place, God defend our free land. From dissension, envy, hate, And corruption guard our state, Make our country good and great, God defend New Zealand. Peace, not war, shall be our boast, But, should foes assail our coast, Make us then a mighty host, God defend our free land. Lord of battles in Thy might, Put our enemies to flight, Let our cause be just and right, God defend New Zealand. Let our love for Thee increase, May Thy blessings never cease, Give us plenty, give us peace, God defend our free land. From dishonour and from shame, Guard our country’s spotless name, Crown her with immortal fame, God defend New Zealand. May our mountains ever be Freedom’s ramparts on the sea, Make us faithful unto Thee, God defend our free land. Guide her in the nations’ van, Preaching love and truth to man, Working out Thy glorious plan, God defend New Zealand.

I truly think that this is the most wonderful national anthem I have heard. God Bless New Zealand! Love from Canada.

Beautiful. I am Brazilian, and I learned how to sing this anthem.

I grew up in New Zealand from when I was eight until I was 13. I will never forget how warm kiwis are. I hold fond memories of the people and the place dearly. It breaks my heart over what's happened in Christchurch. Forever a kiwi, my heart goes to you all.

I still cry when I hear our Anthem, I cant say enough about my country the "shining light of the world" so proud

I'm from Cork Ireland and I love this super New Zealand National Anthem. I have the words almost off ,and i love singing The Anthem.

I'm not a native to New Zealand, but my boyfriend is. He's the whole reason I fell in love with this beautiful country. I didn't think there would be a country this beautiful but there is and it's New Zealand. The thought of living the rest of my life in New Zealand brings me great pride because I know how it's people love the country so. I'm from America and I hate it. But New Zealand has brought out country pride that I've never had. It's an amazing country and I hope to become an official citizen and not just have a residency all my life.

hi I'm from Indonesia I really love New Zealand I someday will go on vacation there places in New Zealand are very exotic

Totally coming to this country for a year or two ~Kentuckian

This is probably the most beautiful national anthem I've ever heard! I love the Star Spangled Banner, but New Zealand's anthem is simply amazing and powerful! A beautiful anthem for a beautiful country.

I love New Zealand.

Most beautiful land I ever walked on. Most beautiful national anthem too. We stand with you today.

I am true blue Aussie, but I say this with no angst: I love the NZ anthem. Maybe it's the great rivalry we have, because I also love the Haka (don't stop doing that) Anyway, this video is brilliant! *****

What a magnificent anthem! New Zealand is such a beautiful country, love the native singing too. Love from your Australian cousin. xx

Makes my eyes runny every time. Nz is awesome.cant wait to come home

My most favourite National Anthem

May god be with New Zealand and Christchurch May those who lose their lives Rest In Peace ✌️

Two amazing years of my life were in New Zealand. Nothing else will top that, ever.

Sitting listening to this version I have tears running down my face.. So sad what happened in Christchurch , buy oh so proud to be a New Zealander.

After travelling more than ten countries around the world, New Zealand is still my favorite and surely forever. If I earned enough money, i hope to go back to New Zealand every two years. I love New Zealand!!. love Aotearoa !! from Taiwan~~

Possibly the most beautiful and awe inspiring national anthem on the planet. This recording conveys a beautiful innocence and living higher ideals, whilst continuing to aspire via strength, belief, pride and identity. Listening to this is to let your soul tears flow...the words and melody are so deeply moving. Pro love, strength, unity, faith and abundance. Anti war, hate, envy, rascism, dissension, corruption, dishonour, and shame. What more do you wqnt? ❤

Beautiful anthem, coming from an Aussie, this is beautiful

I just love your anthem!! Greetings from Romania .

This inspirational Anthem soaks into my soul . From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵

I may not be Christian, Protestant, Catholic or anything of the sort, but I'm a proud patriot and this beautiful anthem get me feeling wonderful. You're a patriot when you realize that, sure, you Country has a lot of fucking problems, but still out shines everyone else. god defend this free land.

Wow.. this anthem is amazing! Please, don't ever remove it :) God defend New Zealand!!

Absolutely beautiful. So sorry to hear of your recent sorrows, New Zealand. God Bless you all..

My 5-year-old loves every word and scene from this video. She picked up the anthem when she was 2 plus.

This is the best version of the NZ National Anthem, and so fitting today on the day of the terrorist attack in CHCH.

Brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to this extended version. Such beautiful lyrics...definitely a prayer and a great one at that. God defend New Zealand...amen!

Had the best 19 days of my life in New Zealand, an absolutely amazing country I want to spend more time in. Love from Australia

Now this, my friends, is a national anthem.

New Zealand my love, in my past life I was a Kiwi... But we will soon reunite my love 💝

I like this anthem. It begins with the Maori version (which I don't understand but like listening to) and goes through a key change before moving into the English version. The theme is a universal one, asking a higher power for protection against the evils of corruption, envy and hate. As a people, unity is found through Love.... How that was defined in New Zealand in another matter....

Doing this anthem at school for around 10years really wears it out...

God. I love our National Anthem. It’s so humbling to read all the wonderful comments from everyone. God bless you all ❤🇳🇿

Let us put all our differences aside and let us put our priority of being human first. I am extremely saddened by the recent tragic events in New Zealand. My prayers and thoughts are with the families who lost their loved ones. I used to say I left my heart in New Zealand cause since 2009 I have been visiting her almost every year not only because of her geographical beauty but also because of “the Kiwis”, to me New Zealand is the only country where you able to have a decent conversation and able to get a reply for every single 100 attempts of greeting regardless of color which I wasn’t able to get that in other countries. Only in New Zealand, the westerners (once known as the colonel race) know that, that this country doesn’t belong to them but to everyone, where most of the lands are soon to be given back to the Maoris community (the aboriginal people of New Zealand). I shed tears all the time listening to the beautiful lyrics of New Zealand National Anthem, where you will find lyrics such as "Peace, Not War, shall be our boast, but should foes assail our coast", Put our enemies to flight, and Let our cause be just and right" wishing that one day I can be one of them, “the Kiwis”. To me, everything about this country is beautiful until this. Therefore, let us restore back this free land beauty not only to the Kiwis but to the world. I urge everyone to remember that we are “Human First “ before anything else. “HUMAN FIRST” #Christchurch #HumanFirst #49Killed #NewZealand
