512. Let Children Hear the Mighty Deeds

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

2 Make unto them his glories known,
His works of pow'r and grace,
And we'll convey his wonders down
Through ev'ry rising race.

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

5 To learn that in our God alone
Their hope securely stands,
That they may ne'er forget his works,
But walk in his commands.
