1. Let child- ren hear the might- y deeds Which God per- formed of old; Which in our young- er years we saw, And which our fa- thers told.

2. He bids us make His glo- ries known, His works of pow'r and grace; And we'll con- vey His won- ders down Through ev- ery ri- sing race.

3. Our lips shall tell them to our sons, And they a- gain to theirs; That gen- er- a- tions yet un- born May teach them to their heirs.

4. Thus shall they learn in God a- lone Their hope se- cure- ly stands, That they may ne'er for- get His work But prac- tice His com- mands.
