_And succeed in the kingdom.
Thereupon I said to my friend,
Let us make a song
To the King’s Son;
For he shall be made king.
This my little song shall praise him:
’Tis said, he is a brave prince,
Let us therefore rejoice;
For he shall be our king,
After his Father’s death,
We rejoice also, because
He loves us as his Father does;
Who sent over clergymen to us,
To teach us the word of God;
Lest we should go to the Devil.
Be thou like him, so shall we love thee,_

_And cherish thee,
And be thy servants.
Our ancestors have also been thy servants,
Even they.
That thou hast thought on us,
This we know very well, O gracious Son of the King.
We hope thou wilt continue so to do,
The King thy father has before possessed us,
When thou shalt be our King thou’lt prove good enough.
Whatever we possess
Shall be thine altogether.
When Greenland shall have received instruction,
Then shall they love God and honour the King.
Let us be merry,
And of the King’s Son
Drink the health. And say, Long live Christian!_

Peter, who were the first baptized of Greenland.
Would to God our countrymen were also._
