4. Power point on

5. Under a spreading chestnut-tree
The village smithy stands;

6. The Smith, a mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy hands;

7. And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.

8. He goes on Sunday to the church,
And sits among his boys;

9. He hears the person pray and preach,

10. He hears his daughter’s voice,
It sounds to him like mother’s voice,
Singing in Paradise!

11. Toiling – rejoicing,-sorrowing,
Onward through life he goes;
Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy friend,
For the lesson thou hast taught!
