Текст песни Children of God - Andrea Bowen, Bonnie Gleicher, Rita Glynn, Marguerite MacIntyre, Don Richard & Jane Eyre Ensemble

Form classes! Silence! Order!

We are the children of God
And we praise His word
We are blind in His love
In His love we will trust
For we are taught that we must

Girls, don't slouch, keep in line
Or my nerves will snap
Do not whisper or breathe
Or I'll show you the strap

Oh, grateful we are for our daily bread
Oh, if only just once it could be instead
Sweet cakes and cottage pie
Food we could identify

I have a word to address to the students
Here is a girl who is new to our school
Her name is Jane Eyre
And she is brought here by her excellent benefactress, Mrs. Reed

I should wish her to be brought up in a manner suiting her prospects -
To be made useful - to be kept humble
We must punish the flesh
She's prone to deceit
I would caution you not to be
Fooled by her lies

Deceit is a cardinal sin
She knows not the danger she's in

These are the children of God
She will quickly learn
That a child deceitful Forever shall burn

We are the children of God (Disciplines are born to be humble and suffer)
And we praise His word

We are blind in His love (Punish the flesh to chasten the spirit)
In His love we must trust
For we are taught that we must (Purity comes from the pain of correction)
We are the children of God (The torment of martyrs is holy and Christian)
Starving the body will never
But we find it queer If we're really His children Why isn't He here?

Blind in his love
We're charity children
No mother or father
Just heavenly care
God blesses our souls
And yet we despair
