1 Happy the home when God is there
And love fills every breast,
Where 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 lisp 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 live but for the skies.
4 Lord! let us in our homes agree
This blessèd peace to gain;
Unite our hearts in love to thee,
And love to all will reign.
