LyicsHAPPY the home, when God is there,
And love fills every breast;
Where one their wish, and one their pray'r,
And one their heav'nly 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 pray'r 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.
