This song was written by Queen Lili'uokalani in 1895 during her imprisonment. Another
name for this song is
"The Queen's Prayer". I'll put the exact translation below, but it is the Queen talking
to God
and asking him for peace.

Translation
Your loving mercy
Is as high as Heaven
And your truth
So perfect
I live in sorrow
Imprisoned
You are my light
Your glory, my support
Behold not with malevolence
The sins of man
But forgive
And cleanse
And so, o Lord
Protect us beneath your wings
And let peace be our portion
Now and forever more
Amen
