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

He bids us make His glo­ries known,
His works of pow­er and grace;
And we’ll con­vey His won­ders down
Through ev­ery ris­ing race.

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

Thus shall they learn in God alone
Their hope se­cure­ly stands,
That they may ne’er fo­rget His works,
But prac­tice His com­mands.
