Immer sich rein
Language: German (Deutsch)
Immer sich rein Kindlich erfreu'n, Selig, wer's kann. Jubeln und singen, Hüpfen und springen, Selig, wer's kann. Lachen und scherzen Mit fröhlichem Herzen, Selig, wer's kann. Sorgen zerstreu'n, Gerne verzeih'n, Selig, wer's kann. Menschen beglücken, Welch' ein Entzücken! Selig, wer's kann. Böses nicht messen Und Vieles vergessen, Selig, wer's kann.
