The Golden Plates
The song “The Golden Plates” will have special meaning for you when you think about the story it tells. It might be fun for your family to play this game and then sing the song together during a family home evening.
1. The golden plates lay hidden
Deep in a mountain side,
Until God found one faithful,
In whom He could confide.
2. A record made by Nephi,
A godly man of old,
Now, in the Book of Mormon.
The story is retold.
