An original hymn with text by Kathryn Hales below.  Watch on YouTube: Honor the Fathers

1. I know my Heavenly Father gave the chance to come to earth,

I know He truly loves me and considers me of worth.

I know my Savior, Jesus Christ is my spiritual father too,

For through His gospel covenants I know what I must do.

Chorus:

I’ll honor the fathers, honor the fathers,

That’s the way to really be a man,

I’ll honor the fathers, honor the fathers,

Doing good to all I can.

2. I have an earthly father, whose name I proudly bear,

I’ll show respect and gratitude to treat that name with care.

Founding fathers of our country, the Bishop of our ward,

Righteous men who follow Jesus Christ the Lord.

Repeat chorus
