"Thou Shall Teach them to Thy Children. " |
839. C. M. Watts. "Thou shall teach them to thy children." 1 Let children hear the mighty deeds Which God performed of old: Which in our younger years we saw, And which our fathers told. 2 He bids us make his glories known -- His works of power and grace; And we'll convey his wonders down To every 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 Thus shall they learn, in God alone Their hope securely stands; That they may ne'er forget his works, But practise his commands.
