by Johann Wilhelm Hey (1789 - 1854)

Glöcklein klingt, Vöglein singt
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Glöcklein klingt, Vöglein singt,
wie ein jedes kann und weiß.
Kind, auch du, sing dazu
deines lieben Schöpfers Preis.

Bet' und sing'! gutes Ding
übst du nimmermehr zu oft.
Schenket doch Gott dir noch
täglich mehr als du gehofft.

Sing' und bet' früh und spät;
kannst ja nimmermehr besteh'n,
wenn nicht treu täglich neu
Gottes [Huld]1 will mit dir geh'n.

Bist ein Kind, lern' geschwind
singen, beten alle Stund.
Gott begehrt, hält gar werth
Dank und Fleh'n aus Kindesmund.

Lern' es bald; bist du alt,
thust du dann von selber so.
In der Noth und im Tod
bist du dann getrost und froh.
