1. Ó, Jesús bróðir bestiog barna vinur mesti,æ, breið þú blessun þínaá barnæskuna mína.
2. Mér gott barn gef að veraog góðan ávöxt bera,en forðast allt hið illa,svo ei mér nái´ að spilla.
3. Það ætíð sé mín iðjaað elska þig og biðja,þín lífsins orð að læraog lofgjörð þér að færa.
4. Þín umsjón æ mér hlífií öllu mínu lífi,þín líknarhönd mig leiðiog lífsins veginn greiði.
5. Mig styrk í stríði nauða,æ, styrk þú mig í dauða.Þitt lífsins ljósið bjartaþá ljómi´ í mínu hjarta.
6. Með blíðum barnarómimitt bænakvak svo hljómi:Þitt gott barn gef að veriog góðan ávöxt beri.
