Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise ‎#50

50. Psalm 78

1 The praises of the Lord our God,
and his almighty strength,
the wondrous works that he hath done,
we will show forth at length.

2 His testimony and his law
in Israel he did place,
and charged our forebears it to show
to their succeeding race;

3 That so the race which was to come
might learn and know them well;
and generations yet unborn
might their own children tell:

4 That they might set their hope in God,
and not forget his ways,
but hold in mind his mighty works
and keep his laws always.
