Lyrics: Mothers, teach your children of the gospel and its light.
Help them love the Savior and to always know what's right.
Teach them how to pray and help them to hear whisperings of the Spirit as it draws near.

CHORUS:
For the children must learn of the great eternal plan that our Father gives to man, to guide us safely home.
And the children will know they have loved as priceless treasure, with a love beyond all measure
As we teach them day by by.

Fathers, teach your children of your testimony true
Show them by example of the things that they must do
Teach them how to serve, and teach them love,
Help them to become like Father above.

Teachers, teach the children of the wonders of the earth,
Fill the thirst for knowledge that is found within from birth.
Teach them of the Lord and they will have peace
Wisdom comes from God and will never cease.

CHORUS

Teach the children, teach the children, and guide them safely home.
