10. It is sweet, like honey from heaven above: 

 Your strength is like a two-edged sword. 

 You have been cutting in all lands, 

 The hardened minds and averted eyes. 

 Stop, put away tobacco and all evil things. 

 15. The Holy Bible, 



Your beauty was seen from the earliest 



teachers 

 On the hills and on the mountains, 

 In the valleys and ponds ; 

 The hill of Zion, the lake of Liberia ; 

 20. The mountain of Gerizim and the valley of 

 Laneka ( ?). 

 O the Holy Bible, here it is ; 

 We have seen with [our] two eyes. 

 There is nothing to be compared [to it J 



for the peoples upHft. 

 Where is the people ruling, to govern 

 25. The distorted mind of the Hawaiians, 

 Whereby they would walk uprightly as 



you desire ? 

 Where is the carpenter who proposed this 



ruling ? 

 The rule to straighten the gnarled trees? 

 O the carpenter ! search and you will find. 

 30. There is the uprightness and justness; 

 Take and place [it] in your minds 

 In order to judge the right and the wrong; 

 To distinguish the upright and the crooked. 

 Where is the blacksmith who really 

 believed 

 35. In his solid hammer 

 Striking heavily 

 The hard iron bars of the mind of the 



people ? 

 There is no one else to break them but you. 

 The Holy Bible, you possess good ; 

 40. You are the weajjon which makes the 

 soldier brave. 

 Through you came fortu death and the 



resurrection. 

 Where indeed is the captain 

 Who considers this instruction 

 The correct compass, 

 45. So that their Iwats should not be wrecked 

 On the coral strands beyond 

 Where they are sailing? 

 Here is the good leader, 

 The true guide to reach
