I never did understand that song. I always feel like it should be about biblical Abraham. Or maybe Jacob. But the song fits neither. And it's probably about neither. And so it bugs me.Cindy wrote:"Father Abraham had seven sons. Seven sons had Father Abraham."
-- "Father Abraham"
Re: Encore: LDS Canon
It is rather puzzling. When I first discovered that Abraham had 6 sons with Keturah, I thought, "Hey, that song actually makes sense after all." But then I re-did the math and realized that this brought the total up to 8, so it still doesn't work.
Re: Encore: LDS Canon
Weird! I learned that song as "Father Abraham had MANY sons...I am one of them, and so are you / so let's all praise the Lord!" Guess there's two versions going around.
