God Defend New Zealand - our National Anthem

While we know the first verse of our National Anthem in English and Maori we don't often hear the words of the other verses.  Here is a video of the entire National Anthem of New Zealand accompanied by some stunning images of our beautiful country.  Miss B loves the part where you see the crowd gathering for the rugby game!
