Song 23. Obedience to Parents. |
1 Let children that would fear the Lord Hear what their teachers say; With reverence meet their parents' word, And with delight obey. 2 Have you not heard what dreadful plagues Are threaten'd by the Lord, To him that breaks his father's law, Or mocks his mother's word? 3 What heavy guilt upon him lies! How cursed is his name! The ravens shall pick out his eyes, And eagles eat the same. 4 But those who worship God, and give Their parents honour due, Here on this earth they long shall live, And live hereafter, too.
