And follow His call!
Praising by deeds of love
Him who now reigns above,
Feeding the brethren poor,
Preaching salvation sure,
Joys that shall aye endure,
Knowing nor doubt nor fear,
While He is near.

ACT II.
Scene I.
Before the gate of the town.
Motley groups of people crowding out to walk.
Some Journeymen.
Brethren, whither bound?
Others.
To the Jægerhaus.
The First.
We to the mill.
A Journeyman.
At Wasserhof best cheer is to be found.
A Second.
But then the road is not agreeable.
The Others.
And what dost thou?
A Third.
I go where others go.
A Fourth.
Let’s go to Burgdorf; there you’ll find, I know,
The best of beer, and maidens to your mind,
And roaring frolics too, if that’s your kind.
A Fifth.
Thou over-wanton losel, thou!
Dost itch again for some new row?
I loathe the place; and who goes thither,
He and I don’t go together.
A Servant Girl.
No! no! back to the town I’d rather fare.
Another.
We’re sure to find him ’neath the poplars there.
