LyicsLET children that would fear the Lord,
Hear what their teachers say,
With rev'rence meet their parents' word,
And with delight obey.
Have we not heard what dreadful plagues
Are threaten'd by the Lord,
To him who breaks his Father's law
Or mocks his mother's word?
But those that worship God, and give
Their parents honor due,
Here on this earth they long shall live,
And live hereafter too.
