Should we not then love him?
तो क्या हमें उससे प्रेम नहीं करना चाहिए?
LESSON LII.
पाठ बावन।
Lord smile joys tears nigh morn griefs woes stars say
प्रभु मुस्कान आनंद आँसू निकट प्रभात दुःख कष्ट तारे कहो
When the stars, at set of sun, Watch you from on high;
जब तारे, सूर्यास्त के समय, ऊपर से तुम्हें देखते हैं;
When the light of morn has come, Think the Lord is nigh
जब प्रभात का प्रकाश आ जाए, तो सोचो कि प्रभु निकट हैं
All you do, and all you say, He can see and hear;
जो कुछ तुम करते हो, और जो कुछ तुम कहते हो, वह सब वे देख और सुन सकते हैं;
When you work and when you play, Think the Lord is near.
जब तुम काम करो और जब तुम खेलो, तो सोचो कि प्रभु पास हैं।
