Let Children Hear The Mighty Deeds

Words and music by Isaac Watts · 1719

Key of A · 100 BPM · 4/4 · · Ps 78:5-8

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.
