Let Children Hear the Mighty Deeds

Verse 1

Let children hear the mighty deeds
Which God performed of old;
Which in our younger years we saw,
And which our fathers told.

Verse 2

He bids us make His glories known,
His works of power and grace;
And we’ll convey His wonders down,
Through every rising race.

Verse 3

Our lips shall tell them to our sons,
And they again to theirs;
That generations yet unborn
May teach them to their heirs.

Verse 4

Thus shall they learn in God alone
Their hope securely stands,
That they may ne’er forget His works,
But practise His commands.
