Honor Your Father and Mother
Exodus 20:12; Matthew 25:23; Luke 2:51-52 and James 1:17
Ross Jutsum

Honor your father and mother, That your days may be long on the land.
Bountiful blessings forever, The Eternal your God did command.
The first commandment with promise, And by this we should all understand.
So honor your father and mother That your days may be long on the land.

Christ, son of Joseph and Mary, Whose father and mother we know,
Left us a perfect example To follow wherever we go.
He taught us to keep the commandments, His great law, which forever will stand.
So honor your father and mother That your days may be long on the land.

Heav'nly Jerus'lem forever, It is free and the mother of all.
How much our heavenly Father Gives gifts to the children He calls.
He promises life everlasting, And to serve at our Master's right hand,
So honor your father and mother That your days may be long on the land.
