A Brighter Day Begins with His Word.

Watts, Isaac, 1674-1748 • SECTION 197

Psalm 78:1. First Part. Providence of God recorded; or, Pious education and instruction of children.

← The Psalms of David Imitated in the Language of the New Testament and Applied to the Christian State and Worship

1 Let children hear the mighty deeds, Which God perform'd 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 Thro' 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.
