1. I live here now,
On the earth.
Not long shall I be gone
From the earth.
Where I shall go,
For a long time I did not know;—
Dark was my mind about
The far off land.
2. God lives far off
In Heaven.
He wishes me to go
To Heaven.
If I am good here,
And do nothing wrong,
He will wish me to go
To Heaven.
3. Good people live far off
In Heaven.
Bad people live below
In the great fire.
Only if I am good,
Throw away everything bad,
Truly this God
Will carry me there.
