Lorenzo Lyons, 1807-1886

Lorenzo Lyons, better known as Makua Laiana, arrived in Hawai'i in 1832 and remained until his death in 1886. Fluent in Hawaiian, he was a critical force in encouraging Hawaiian as a written language, and in translating hymns into Hawaiian. He wrote these words originally as a poem around 1860, later set to music "I left it All With Jesus". Hawai'i Aloha is often sung as the last song at Hawaiian gatherings, with the last line "E Hawai'i Aloha E" repeated.
