The Little Church

夢をまことにと思うならば
あせらずに築きなさい
その静かな歩みが遠い道を行く
心をこめればすべては清い
この世に自由を求めるならば
あせらずに進みなさい
小さいことにも
すべてを尽くし
飾りない喜びに
気高さが住む
日ごとに
石を積み続け
あせらずに築きなさい
日ごとにそれであなたも育つ
やがて天国の光があなたを包む


If you want your dream to be
Build it slow and surely.
Small beginnings, greater ends.
Heartfelt work grows purely.
If you want to live life free,
Take your time, go slowly.
Do few things, but do them well.
Simple joys are holy.
Day by day, stone by stone,
Build your secret slowly.
Day by day, you'll grow, too,
You'll know heaven's glory.
