Neʼe toʼo mai te hiva “Battle Hymn of the Republic” (Te Hiva ʼo Te Tau ʼo Te Lepupilike). Neʼe kamata fenei te hiva ʼaia: “Neʼe sio ʼoku mata ki te haʼu ʼa te ʼAliki ʼi te kololia.” Kaʼe, neʼe fetogi e te Kau Ako Tohi-Tapu, ʼo natou tohi fenei: “ʼE feala ke sio ʼoku mata ki te ʼi heni ʼa te ʼAliki ʼi te kololia.” Neʼe ha ai tanatou tui ʼae ko te ʼafio ʼo Sesu Kilisito ʼe mole fakaʼuhiga pe ki tana haʼu kaʼe ki tana ʼi heni, lolotoga he temi.—Mateo 24:3.
