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!
