Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Parents and Children First Line: My people, give ear, attend to my word Lyrics: 1 My people, give ear, attend to my word, In parables new deep truths shall be heard; The wonderful story our fathers made known To children succeeding by us must be shown. 2 Instructing our sons we gladly record The praises, the works, the might of the Lord, For He hath commanded that what He hath done Be passed in tradition from father to son. 3 Let children thus learn from history's light To hope in our God and walk in His sight, The God of their fathers to fear and obey, And ne'er like their fathers to turn from His way. 4 The story be told, to warn and restrain, Of hearts that were hard, rebellions, and vain, Of soldiers who faltered when battle was near, Who kept not God's covenant nor walked in His fear. 5 God's wonderful works to them He had shown, His marvelous deeds their fathers had known; He made for their pathway the waters divide, His glorious pillar of cloud was their guide. 6 He gave them to drink, relieving their thirst, And forth from the rock caused water to burst; Yet faithless they tempted their God, and they said, Can He Who gave water supply us with bread? 7 Jehovah was wroth because they forgot To hope in their God, and trusted Him not; Yet gracious, He opened the doors of the sky And rained down the manna in richest supply. 8 With bread from on high their need He supplied, And more did He do when thankless they sighed; The strong winds commanding from south and from east, He sent them abundance of quail for their feast. 9 Though well they were filled, their folly they chose, Till God in His wrath o'erwhelmed them with woes; He slew of their strongest and smote their young men, But still unbelieving they sinned even then. 10 Because of their sin He smote with His rod, And then they returned and sought for their God; Their Rock and Redeemer was God the Most High, Yet false were their praises, their promise a lie. 11 Not right with their God in heart and in will, They faithlessly broke His covenant still; But He, in compassion, reluctant to slay, Forgave them and oft turned His anger away. 12 His pity was great, though often they sinned, For they were but flesh, a swift passing wind; Yet thought His compassion and grace they behold, They tempted and grieved Him and often rebelled. 13 They limited God, the Most Holy One, And hindered the work His grace had begun; The hand that was mighty to save they forgot, The day of redemption remembering not. 14 Ungrateful and blind, no longer they thought Of wonders and signs and mighty deeds wrought, Of how all the rivers of Egypt ran red, And plagues in God's anger were heaped on their head. 15 They thought not of how, their freedom to gain, In Egypt's abodes the first-born were slain, And how all God's people were led forth like sheep, The flock He delighted in safety to keep.

[Refrain] 3 Though sorrows befall us and Satan oppose, God leads His dear children along; Through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes, God leads His dear children along. [Refrain] 4.

How imperfect in our zeal! Guilty, while to heaven we speak-- Jesus, Lord, our pardon seal! 3 Help us still our work of love Daily, hourly, to pursue; While thy Spirit from above Shall our children's souls renew. 4 For this blessing now we plead; Send thy Holy Spirit down; Smile on us and on our seed, Make thy power and glory known. 5 Thou hast heard our solemn prayer-- We are thine, for ever thine: Take these children to thy care, Fill their hearts with grace divine.

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Parents and Children First Line: Not unto us, O Lord of heav'n Lyrics: 1 Not unto us, O Lord of heav'n, But unto Thee be glory giv'n; In love and truth Thou dost fulfill The counsels of Thy sov'reign will; Though nations fail Thy pow'r to own, Yet Thou dost reign, and Thou alone. 2 The idol gods of heathen lands Are but the work of human hands: They cannot see, they cannot speak, Their ears are deaf, their hands are weak; Like them shall be all those who hold To gods of silver and of gold. 3 Let Israel trust in God alone, The Lord Whose grace and pow'r are known; To Him your full allegiance yield, And He will be your help and shield; All those who fear Him God will bless, His saints have proved His faithfulness. 4 All ye that fear Him and adore, The Lord increase you more and more; Both great and small who Him confess, You and your children He will bless; Yea, blest are ye of Him Who made The heav'ns, and earth's foundations laid. 5 The heav'ns are God's since time began, But He hath giv'n the earth to man; The dead praise not the living God, But we will sound His praise abroad. Yea, we will ever bless His Name; Praise ye the Lord, His praise proclaim. Scripture: Psalm 115 Used With Tune: GAIRNEY BRIDGE
