Dr. Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David ‎#168

168. Let Children hear the mighty deeds

1 Let Children hear the mighty deeds
Which God perform'd of old;
Which in our younger years we saw,
And which our fathers told.

2 He bids us make his glories known:
His works of pow'r and grace;
And we'll convey his wonders down
Thro' 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.

4 Thus shall they learn in God alone
Their hope securely stands:
That they may ne'er forget his works,
But practise his commands.
