Hawai`i Aloha - Beloved Hawaii - Bruddah Iz
Hawai`i Aloha
Beloved Hawaii
Beloved Hawaii
One of the most beloved songs written by The Reverend Lorenzo Lyons, 1807-1886, also known as Makua Laiana, was taken from an old hymn "I Left It All With Jesus" composed by James McGranahan (1840-1907).
A local classic, it is sung together as a closing song at Hawaiian gatherings with the holding of hands with those adjacent, swaying with the music, and holding hands up high at the end.
