4. The deep-toned bell is calling us!

1 The deep-toned bell is calling us!
Children, hither come!
Where're you wander, happy ones,
Hither, hither come!
Lo! now a sweet and deeper peal,
Softly on the heart doth steal.
The deep-toned bell is calling us!
Come, nor longer roam.

2 Again its joyful pealing sweet,
Children, hither come!
Invites us in our school to meet,
Hither, hither come!
And while its echoed music rings,
Every heart pure incense brings.
The deep-tossed bell is calling us!
Come, nor longer roam.
