E Ke Keiki E Iesu - Frank Kawaikapuokalani Hewett

E ke keiki,e Iesu, e moe mâlie
Ma ka poli o Malia e maluhia

E ke keiki,e Iesu, e moe mâlie
Kia`i aku `o Iokepa, ma luna ou.

E ke keiki,e Iesu, e moe mâlie
Eia a`e nâ kahuhipa, me nâ ali`i `ekolu

E ke keiki,e Iesu, e moe mâlie
Ka hôkû `â loa ma ka hikina ka hô`ailona.

E ke keiki,e Iesu, e moe mâlie
Hîmeni mai nâ `anela, pômaika`i kêia ao.

Hui:
Haleluia, Haleluia,
Ua hânau mai ko kâkou Ho`ôla,
Haleluia, Haleluia,
E `oli`oli pû kâkou.

Oh child, Jesus, lay calmly,
In the bosom of Mary, ever so peacefully.

Oh child, Jesus, lay calmly,
Joseph watches over you.

Oh child, Jesus, lay calmly,
For here are the shepherds and the three Kings.

Oh child, Jesus, lay calmly,
The shining star in the East is the sign

Oh child, Jesus, lay calmly,
The angels praise you on this blessed day.

Chorus:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Born is our Savior,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Let us rejoice.
