Children’s Songbook #150: “I’m Glad to Pay a Tithing,” Verses 1 and 2 1. My Heav'nly Father gives me all good and lovely things: The sun that shines, the rain that falls, the meadowlark that sings. 2. I'm glad to pay a tithing, one-tenth of all I earn; It's little when I think of all God gives me in return.

President Thomas S. Monson “When performance is measured, performance improves. When performance is measured and reported, the rate of improvement accelerates.” (Favorite Quotations from the Collection of Thomas S. Monson, 1985)
