Happy the home when God is there,
And
love fills every breast;
When
one their wish, and one their prayer,
And
one their heavenly rest.
2
Happy
the home where Jesus' name
Is
sweet to every ear;
Where
children early speak his fame,
And
parents hold him dear.
3
Happy
the home where prayer is heard,
And
praise is wont to rise;
Where
parents love the sacred Word
And
all its wisdom prize.
4
Lord,
let us in our homes agree
This
blessed peace to gain;
Unite
our hearts in love to thee,
And
love to all will reign.
