Hi, I am looking for more verses to the song "Who Will Sing For Mr." I have the first 3 verses. I got this song out of an old hymn book back in the 70's, and there were at least 4 verses if not 5 (if my mind serves me right) Would appreciate it if anyone could provide more verses to this song. Thanks!

There are 3 verses in the DT. Did you check to see whether they are the same ones? If you have any that are different, please post them. Thanx.

Susan, we had a discussion of this back in 1997. The version in the DT does carry on the misconception that it was written by Carter Stanley, rather than by Thomas J. Farris. Of course, this is commonly done. Royalties, ya know. Stanley may have been responsible for the adaptation, but the work essentially belongs to Farris.

Shelley Posen does a great rendition of this on Finest Kind's new CD "Heart Songs".
