HAPPY THE HOME WHEN GOD IS THERE

HAPPY THE HOME WHEN GOD IS THERE

1. 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.
