We will tell each generation all that you, our God, have done; how you called and led our nation, chose us out to be your own: Tell the times of our rebelling- how we wandered from your way, how your law our love compelling taught us humble to obey: Tell how once, when spite and terror threatened to engulf our land, you defended us with vigor, saved us by a mighty hand: Tell the grace that falls from heaven, angels' food as faith's reward; tell how sins may be forgiven through the mercy of the Lord.
