English text

Sing, let us sing with a right good will,
Cheerily, cheerily singing!
Helping the world with joy to fill,
With happy voices ringing.
Sing, let us sing with a right good will,
Kindly feelings bringing;
Love and goodness round us still,
The while old time is winging.

Love, let us love with a fervent heart,
Tenderly, tenderly loving!
So, we’ll take our humble part
In needless ills removing.
Love, let us love with a fervent heart,
Ever, ever proving
How gentleness may heal the smart
That’s past all other moving.

Live, let us live with a noble aim,
Patiently, patiently learning!
Stronger still to keep the flame
Of high endeavor burning.
Live, let us live with a noble aim,
Selfishness still spurning,
Till we can see that sin and shame
To love and peace are turning.
