Oaths of a Child

                      (Hymns of TEN-DOU ...4)
                         
         (Lyricist; UN-POU NI-DOU-JI)


               1. RAUM dear! Thank you very much for Your Mercy.
                 I'm afraid I behaved badly yesterday.
                 I wish you would make me behave well today.
                 I beg your pardon; I've made my soul become filthy.
                 Forgive me for having not yet fulfilled my duty.
                 I'm a Child ignored the mind of Heaven, 
                 and neglected my Mission of Heaven.
                 I pray to RAUM for a forgiveness of mercy.
                 I swear, I will become an honest boy, 
                and a faithful servant some day.


           2. RAUM dear! Thank you very much for Your Mercy.
                
I'm afraid I behaved badly this day.
                 I wish you would make me behave well next day.
                 I am going to walk the bright Way steadily.
                 I wish I could become such a Saint surely
                 as a messiah to save the world, 
                 and a servant for the sake of God. 
                 I pray to RAUM for a protection of mercy. 
                
I swear, I will become an obedient boy, 
                 and an honorable angel some day.
