Let Children Hear the Mighty Deeds

Let child­ren hear the migh­ty deeds

Which God per­formed of old;

Which in our young­er years we saw

And which our fa­thers told.

He bids us make His glo­ries known

His works of pow­er and grace;

And we’ll con­vey His won­ders down

Through ev­ery ris­ing race.

Our lips shall tell them to our sons

And they again to theirs;

That ge­ne­ra­tions yet un­born

May teach them to their heirs.

Thus shall they learn in God alone

Their hope se­cure­ly stands

That they may ne’er fo­rget His works

But prac­tice His com­mands.
