Appears to be partial because you can hear Jesus’ name (in Hawaiian) in the song too.

‘Ekolu Mea Nui - by Robert J.K. Nāwāhine

Based on I Cor 13:13 “And now abideth faith, hope and love, these three; but the greatest of these is love”, this hīmeni was composed for the Congregational church’s hō‘ike in Maui about 1925, by Robert Nāwāhine (1868-1951) an outstanding musician and leader of the central Maui churches.

‘Ekolu mea nui ma ka honua

‘O ka mana‘o ‘i‘o, ka mana‘o lana A me ke aloha, ke aloha ka i ‘oi a‘e Pōmaika‘i nā mea āpau

Pōmaika‘i nā mea āpau

E nā mākua nā keiki

Nā mamo a ‘Iuda me ‘Epelaima

E pa‘a ka mana‘o i ka pono i ‘oi a‘e Pōmaika‘i nā mea āpau

Pōmaika‘i nā mea āpau

Three important things in the world Faith, hope

And love, love is the best

And everything is blessed

And everything is blessed

Oh parents, children

Descendants of Judah and Ephraim Think always that righteousness is best And everything is blessed

And everything is blessed
