“The Dearest Names,” Children’s Songbook of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 208
Tenderly
1. I know a name, a glorious name,
Dearer than any other.
Listen, I’ll whisper the name to you:
It is the name of mother.
Mother, so tender and kind and true,
I love you, I love you.
Mother, so tender and kind and true,
I love you.
2. I know a name, a glorious name,
Dearer than any other.
Listen, I’ll whisper the name to you:
It is the name of father.
Father, so noble and brave and true,
I love you, I love you.
Father, so noble and brave and true,
I love you.
Words and music: Frances K. Taylor, 1870–1952
