Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A paraphrase of Psalm 78 by Isaac Watts (1719), calling each generation to pass on the mighty works of God to the next. It emphasizes the duty of parents and the church to teach children about God's power and grace.
Verse 1
Let children hear the mighty deeds Which God performed of old;
Which in our younger years we saw,
And which our fathers told.
Verse 2
He bids us make His glories known,
His works of pow'r and grace;
And we'll convey His wonders down Through every rising race.
Verse 3
Our lips shall tell them to our sons,
And they again to theirs;
That generations yet unborn May teach them to their heirs.
Verse 4
Thus shall they learn in God alone Their hope securely stands,
That they may ne'er forget His work But practice His commands.
