Jesu, als du wiederkehrtest

Bahnmaier, 1823

Jesu, when Thou once returnedst

From the temple of the Lord,

Where His holy will Thou learnedst,

Gladly to Thy home restored,

Thou wast readt to fulfil,

As a child, Thy parents' will;

Grace and sweet humility,

Evermore were seen in Thee.

See Thy little flock dispersing

From their school with joyous hearts;

Here Thy lessons oft rehearsing,

Train them for lif's busy parts;

Lord, at home or by the way,

Lonely, or in merry play,

Be our Pattern ne'er forgot;

Friend of children, leave us not!
