LyicsHAPPY the home, when God is there,
And love fills every breast;
Where one their wish, and one their prayers,
And one their heavenly rest.
Happy the home, where Jesus' name
Is sweet to every ear;
Where children early lisp his fame,
And parents hold him dear.
Happy the home where prayer is heard,
And praise is wont to rise;
Where parents love the sacred word,
And live but for the skies.
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.
