Det rätta sättet
 (Sung text for setting by C. Grahl)
 See original
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Det är ett bråk i denna verlden
Om sättet till att färdas här,
Och mången tror att lefnads-färden
Är krångligare än den är.
Det är visst icke lätt att känna
Hvad som i verlden bäst slår an;
Men lifvets mening är väl denna:
Att bjuda till, så godt man kan.

 ...
