They know not, Lord, nor will they know;
Dark are the ways in which they go;
Their name of earthly gods is vain,
For they shall fall and die like men

Let children hear the mighty deeds
which God performed of old,
which in our younger years we saw
and which our fathers told.
I’ll meditate his works of old,
Who reigns in heav’n above,
I’ll hear his ancient wonders told,
And learn to trust his love.
I’ll think again of all Thy ways,
And talk Thy wonders o’er;
Thy wonders of recovering grace,
When flesh could hope no more
What pow’r can stand before thy sight,
When once thy wrath appears?
When heav’n shines round with dreadful light,
The earth adores and fears

Our foes would triumph in our blood,
And make our hope their jest;
Plead Thy own cause, Almighty God,
And give Thy children rest.

Thy hand conduct me near Thy seat,
To dwell before Thy face
Yet I was kept from full despair,
Upheld by power unknown;
That blessed hand that broke the snare
Shall guide me to thy throne.
