472. Let Children Hear the Mighty Deeds

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

2 So make to 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.

4 O teach them with all diligence
The truths of God's own Word,
To place in him their confidence,
To fear and trust their Lord.

5 To learn that in our God alone
Their hope securely stands,
That they may never doubt his love
But walk in his commands.
