The Priesthood Is Restored

"The Priesthood Is Restored," p. 89, is a simple yet powerful song to teach to the children.  It has a "march" feel to it and is quite powerful in music and words.  Retell the story of the priesthood restoration to Joseph Smith.  Have the children help you as they can.

  • If possible, download  children singing it from the church website and play it for the children.
  • Show a picture of the priesthood being restored to Joseph Smith
  • Sing the first line and then have the children sing it with you a few times.
  • Sing the second line and then have the children sing it with you a few times.  Sing both lines together with the piano accompaniment.
  • Sing the third phrase and then have the children sing it with you a few times.
  • Sing the forth phrase and then have the children sing it with you a few times. 
  • Sing the two last phrases together.
  • Sing the whole song.
  • stand and sing it with power (not yelling).
  • Be sure to hold out the last note at least 4 counts - longer if possible.
The children will enjoy singing this song!
