| How good it is, how fine and beautiful, |
| How lovely to behold, |
| When children are right obedient |
| And gladly alone |
| Go to Jesus's school. |

| here they learn with eagerness and joy |
| Rightly to pray, read, sing, |
| And seek their lifetime, |
| In holiness, |
| With Jesus to spend. |
| 7. |
| O such children are well off. |
| They will forever dwell |
| In heaven with joyful spirit, |
| Where Jesus does |
| Reward pious children. |
| 8. |
| They will there in great joy |
| Dwell every day and hour. |
| No fear, no wrong, no sadness, |
| No pain and sorrow |
| Will surround them there any more. |
| 9. |
| Therefore, dear children, learn gladly |
| And love Jesus filially. |
| Serve Him, as your God and Lord, |
| And fly far |
| From all that is sinful. |
| 10. |
| Do not follow the group of bad children, |
| The loafer and the gambler, |
