Hymn
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 will 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 learn that in our God alone
Their hope securely stands!
That they may ne'er forget His works,
But practice His commands.
