5. |
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. |
6. |
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, |
