Aloha Friends! Here's one that every Kamehameha Schools Alumni is guaranteed to know. The Doxology is sung in 'Ōlelo all over the Islands and has somewhat become part of our culture... For example, my family is not even Catholic, but we sing it at family gatherings. Here I teach you 2 versions and a variation on the second one.

Let me know if you are interested in learning a Chord/Melody version of this one.
