A poem by Isaac Watts

Psalm 78:1 First Part [Let Children Hear The Mighty Deeds]

________________________________________________
Title:     Psalm 78:1 First Part [Let Children Hear The Mighty Deeds]
Author: Isaac Watts [More Titles by Watts]

Providence of God recorded; or, Pious
education and instruction of children.


Let children hear the mighty deeds,
Which God perform'd of old,
Which in our younger years we saw,
And which our fathers told.

He bids us make his glories known,
His works of power and grace;
And we'll convey his wonders down
Thro' every rising race.

Our lips shall tell them to our Sons,
And they again to theirs,
That generations yet unborn
May teach them to their heirs.

Thus shall they learn in God alone
Their hope securely stands,
That they may ne'er forget his works,
But practise his commands.


[The end]
Isaac Watts's poem: Psalm 78:1 First Part [Let Children Hear The Mighty Deeds]
