Primary Song/Scripture Match

By Jolayne Eastman

Primary songs are based on principles taught in the scriptures. For instance, the song “Jesus Said Love Every One” is based on the principle found in Matthew 22:39: “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” [Matt. 22:39] Look up the following scriptures and match each with the Primary song that most closely matches that scriptural principle. Then make up a list of your own to use in a family home evening.

1. Exodus 16:4, 29–30	a. “Jesus Once Was a Little Child”
2. Matthew 3:13–17	b. “We Bow Our Heads”
3. Romans 8:16–17; Mosiah 4:14–15	c. “Saturday”
4. Luke 2:40	d. “I Am a Child of God”
5. D&C 42:6	e. “All Things Bright and Beautiful”
6. Joseph Smith—History 1:30, 34	f. “An Angel Came to Joseph Smith”
7. 3 Nephi 24:10	g. “I Want to Give the Lord My Tenth”
8. Moses 2:1–25	h. “When the Sacrament Is Blessed”
9. 1 Corinthians 11:23–25	i. “Baptism”
10. Alma 37:36–37	j. “I Hope They Call Me on a Mission”
