[In unserm Orte steht ein Haus,]1 Da geh'n wir täglich ein und aus; Da lernen wir so mancherlei Und sind gesund und froh dabei. Die Schule ist ein Freudenort, Da hören wir von Gottes Wort; Die Kinder alle lieben sich So brüderlich, so schwesterlich. Die Schule ist für uns gewiß Ein schönes Kinder-Paradies.

[In our town there stands a house]1, There we pass in and out daily; There we learn many different things And are healthy and happy doing so. The school is a place of happiness, There we hear about God's Word; The children all love each other Like brothers, like sisters. To us the school surely is A paradise for children.
