The Holy Ghost 2nd Verse

2nd verse of "The Holy Ghost"

1st line: Use a picture or two of a boy and girl receiving the Holy Ghost. Explain that all the men hold the Melchizedek Priesthood. They have the authority from God to give the gift of the Holy Ghost. Sing the first line and have the children repeat it 3 times.

2nd line: You may use a clock so just explain that the Holy Ghost is given to us to guide us always-- as long as we are faithful and listen to Him with our minds and hearts. Sing the second line and have the children repeat it 3 times.

3rd line: Point or use a picture of an ear and sing the third line. Explain that the Holy Ghost tells us things quietly through thoughts and feelings. Have the children repeat it 3 times.

4th line: If you need a picture use a light bulb or show the rhyme "light" and "right." Tell the children that if they are ever puzzled about something or a decision, they can pray for guidance and the Holy Ghost will prompt them as to what to do and help them understand. Sing the last line and have the children repeat it 3 times.

Sing the entire second verse. Then, sing both verses together. Always listen to see where the children are having trouble, whether it is with the melody or words. You can stop in the middle of the song and correct the problem or talk about it when they finish. Always try to have the children go home with the correct words in their head. The only comes from LOTS of repetition.
