So I found this old Mormon hymn on MT – I wonder why this isn’t in the green hymnal these days? “Now, sisters, list to what I say:
With trials this world is rife,
You can’t expect to miss them all,
Help husband get a wife!
“Now, this advice I freely give,
If exalted you would be,
Remember that your husband must
Be blessed with more than thee.
“Then, O, let us say,
God bless the wife that strives
And aids her husband all she can
T’ obtain a dozen wives.”
Reference: 1856 Reformation Song. Used as a Hymn in an edition of Songs of Zion. Utah Historical Quarterly, 1928, p. 58.

Too bad we don’t have roadshows anymore… Yeah, I’ve seen and laughed (uncomfortably) at that one. 😯 On Own Now wrote:Too bad we don’t have roadshows anymore…
Shhh!
:silent: Don’t give the producers of the Book of Mormon musical any ideas!Wowsers. I am sure we could come up with a few diddys ourselves here…
That song gave me the “ick” factor….that a man has to be “blessed with more than thee?”
‘Cause…one wife just isn’t good enough.
How about changing it to…”He doesn’t know what sort of gem he has with you and he better work hard to keep you” ??
:clap:
