Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Busy as a man can be, He’s our bishop. He finds time to talk to me; He’s our bishop. Always kindly words he’ll say To the children ev’ry day. Let us help him ev’ry way; He’s our bishop.
2. Cheerful as he serves the Lord, He’s our bishop. He’s the father of our ward; He’s our bishop. He helps us to do the right In our Heav’nly Father’s sight. We love him with all our might; He’s our bishop.
