Words

  1. 1Let children hear the mighty deeds Which God performed of old; Which in our younger years we saw, And which our fathers told.
  2. 2He bids us make His glories known, His works of pow'r and grace; And we'll convey His wonders down Through every rising race.
  3. 3Our lips shall tell them to our sons, And they again to theirs; That generations yet unborn May teach them to their heirs.
  4. 4Thus shall they learn in God alone Their hope securely stands, That they may ne'er forget His work But practice His commands.
