Give Ear, Ye Children, to My Law
Author: Rev. J. Belknap Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 78 Lyrics: 1. Give ear, ye children, to my law,
Devout attention lend;
Let the instructions of My mouth
Deep in your hearts descend.
2. My tongue, by inspiration taught,
Shall parables unfold:
Dark oracles, but understood,
And owned for truths of old;
3. Which we from sacred registers
Of ancient times have known,
And our forefathers' pious care
To us has handed down.
4. Let children learn the mighty deeds
Which God performed of old;
Which in our younger years we saw,
And which our fathers told.
5. Our lips shall tell them to our sons,
And they again to theirs;
That generations yet unborn
May teach them to their heirs.

Give Ear, Ye Children, to My Law
Great God, thy glories shall employ
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 78 Lyrics:
Great God! thy glories shall employ
My holy fear, my humble joy;
My lips in songs of honor bring
Their tribute to th' eternal King.
[Earth, and the stars, and worlds unknown,
Depend precarious on his throne;
All nature hangs upon his word,
And grace and glory own their Lord.]
[His sovereign power what mortal knows?
If be command, who dares oppose?
With strength he girds himself around,
And treads the rebels to the ground.]
[Who shall pretend to teach him skill,
Or guide the counsels of his will?
His wisdom, like a sea divine,
Flows deep and high beyond our line.]
[His name is holy, and his eye
Burns with immortal jealousy
He hates the sons of pride, and sheds
His fiery vengeance on their heads.]
[The beamings of his piercing sight
Bring dark hypocrisy to light;
Death and destruction naked lie,
And hell uncovered to his eye.]
[Th' eternal law before him stands;
His justice, with impartial hands,
Divides to all their due reward,
Or by the sceptre or the sword.]
[His mercy, like a boundless sea,
Washes our load of guilt away;
While his own Son came down and died
T' engage his justice on our side.]
[Each of his words demands my faith;
My soul can rest on all he saith;
His truth inviolably keeps
The largest promise of his lips.]
O tell me, with a gentle voice,
"Thou art my God," and I'll rejoice!
Filled with thy love, I dare proclaim
The brightest honors of thy name.

Did'st thou O Saviour! condecend
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 78 Lyrics: 1 Did'st thou O Saviour! condecend
To take a human birth?
Thou art our great and dearest friend
That ever was on earth.
2 To make attonements for our guilt,
As justice did demand;
When circumcis'd thy blood was spilt
And shed by human hand.
3 At the first shedding of thy blood
Salvation was began;
When thou, who art the Mighty God
Was't circumcis'd as man.
4 Sweet is the sound of thy bless'd name!
Where e'er it is applied:
Thou art thy-self become the same
What thy name signified.
5 Thy blood became the saving means
For all the human race:
To cleanse them from their countless sins,
And make them heirs of grace.
6 What great, what condecending love!
Did the dear Saviour show,
When he left all the heav'ns above
To save us here below.
