Listen to kumu lead students.

Hanohano Kapālama i ka la‘i ē
I ka ua Kūkalahale,
Ka ‘olu o ka ‘Ōlauniu ē
Kahi o nā mo‘opuna a Kana‘iaupuni*
Eia mākou nā pua a Pauahi ē
Me ka ha‘aha‘a i Ke Akua
Puni i ka ulu aloha** ē
E mälama mau i ka hā Hawai‘i
E Ola!
E ola nā ‘öiwi Hawai‘i!
E Ola!
E ola nā ‘öiwi Hawai‘i!***

Famous Kapālama
Famous is Kapālama in the calm
In the Kūkalahale rain,
The comfort of the ‘Ōlauniu breeze
Place of the descendants of Kana‘iaupuni
Here we are the children of Pauahi
With humility to God
Embraced by the abundance of love
Forever protecting all things Hawaiian
Live!
The Hawaiian race lives on!
Live!
The Hawaiian race lives on!

*Kana‘iaupuni is in reference to Kamehameha I, the conqueror who united the eight major islands under one rule.
**ulu aloha is in reference to the pū‘ulu (academic teams) at Kamehameha Middle School.
*** This line is in reference to Charles Reed Bishop’s note that one of the reasons Pauahi established the Kamehameha Schools is because she saw the decline of the Hawaiian population.

‘Ōlelo Ho‘omaika‘i
Statement of Appreciation

We, the students of Kamehameha Schools,
In appreciation of our founder, Bernice Pauahi Bishop,
Pledge to develop our potential in all we do,

To strive to meet our responsibilities,
To progress to the best of our ability,
To carry ourselves with dignity and pride.

So we, the people of Hawaii,
For whom she cared so much,
Give thinks on this day of remembrance.
And remain forever indebted to her.

He Inoa No Pauahi

Honi ana i ke anu ika mea hu‘ihu‘i
Hu‘i hewa i ka ‘ili i ka ua Pō‘ahihala
Lei ana i ka mokihana i ka wewehi o Kaiona
Lihau pue i ke anu hau ‘oki o Kaleponi.

Hia‘ai ka welina ka nene‘e a ka ‘ōhelo papa
Pupua i ka noe mōhahā i ke anu
Noho nō me ka ‘ano‘i, ka mana‘o iā loko
‘O loko hana nui pau ‘ole i ke ana ‘ia.

A ka wailele ‘o Niakala ‘ike i ka wai ānuenue
I ka pō‘ai‘ai a ka ‘ohu hāli‘i pa‘a i laila
Pue ana i ka ‘ehu wai pupu‘u i ke ko‘eko‘e
Eia iho ka mehana o ka poli o Hi‘ilei.

E ō ka wahine hele lā o Kaiona
Alualu waili‘ulā o ke kaha pua ‘ōhai
‘O ka ua lani pōlua, pō anu o ke Ko‘olau
Ku‘u hoa o ka malu ki, malu kukui o Kaho‘iwai.

She smells the cool and refreshing air
Chilled is her skin by the Po‘aihala rain
She wears the mokihana, the adornment of Kaiona
She shivers in the chilly cold of California

She delights and marvels at the creeping strawberries
That bloom profusely in the mist and chilly air
She remains with great love that comes from within
Her great heart whose depths cannot be measured

At the waterfall of Niagara she saw the rainbow arch
And the mist that spread all around there
She shrank from the water spray shivered in the cold
And found warmth in the bosom of Hiilei

Answer, O lady who walks in the sunshine of Kaiona
Where mirages dance on the ‘ohai covered plain
In the very foggy rain on the cold night of Ko‘olau
My companion of the ki and kukui of Kaho‘iwai.

For All The Saints

For all the saints who from their labors rest,
Who Thee by faith before the world confessed.
Thy Name, O Jesus, be forever blest.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

Thou wast their rock, their fortress and their might;
Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight!
Thou, in the darkness drear, their one true light.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

O may Thy soldiers, faithful, true and bold,
Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old.
And win, with them, the victor's crown of gold.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

PSALM 24: 1-5

The Earth is the Lord's and the fullness
thereof; the world and those who dwell therein;

For he has founded it upon the seas, and
established it upon the rivers. Who shall
ascend the hill of the Lord: And who shall
stand in his holy place?

He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not lift up his soul to what is
false, and does not swear deceitfully.

He will receive blessings from the Lord,
and vindication from the God of his salvation.

Proverbs 22:1-6

A good name is more desirable than great
riches, to be esteemed is better than silver
and gold.

He mea makemake ‘ia ke kaulana ma nua o ka
waiwai he nui; A ma mua ho‘i o ke kālā a me ke
kula ka lokomaika‘i i‘o.

Humility and the fear of the Lord bring
wealth and honor and life.

No ka na‘au ha‘aha‘a, ka maka‘u iā Iehova, ka
waiwai ho‘i a me ka hanohano a me ke ola.

In the paths of the wicked lie thorns and
snares, but he who guards his soul stays
far from them.

Aia nā kākalaioa a me nā mea hihia ma ke ala o
ka mea hele keke‘e, ‘o ka mea mālama i kona
‘uhane, ka‘awale nō‘o ia ia mau mea.

Train a child in the way he should go, and
when he is old he will not turn from it.

E a‘o aku i ke kamali‘i i kona ‘ao‘ao; A
‘elemakule ‘o ia, ‘a‘ole ia e huli a‘e mai laila aku.
