O Blessed Home, That Cheerfully Receiveth

Author: Charles William Schaeffer; Karl Johann Philipp Spitta Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #262 (1930) Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 O blessed home, that cheerfully receiveth Thy visits, Jesus Christ, the soul's true Friend, That, far beyond all other guests, believeth It must to Thee its warmest cheer extend; Where ev'ry heart to Thee is fondly turning, Where ev'ry eye for Thee with pleasure speaks, Where all to know Thy will are truly yearning, And ev'ry one to do it promptly seeks. 2 O blessed home, where man and wife, united In Thy true love, have both one heart and mind, Where both to Thy salvation are invited, And in Thy doctrine both contentment find; Where both, to Thee, in truth, forever cleaving In joy, in grief, make Thee their only stay, And fondly hope in Thee to be believing, Both in the good and in the evil day. 3 O blessed home, where little children tender Are laid upon Thy heart with hands of prayer, Thou Friend of children, Who wilt freely render To them more than a mother's loving care, Where round Thy feet they gather, to Thee clinging, And hear Thy loving voice most willingly, And in their songs, Thy hearty praises ringing, Rejoice in Thee, O blessed Lord, in Thee.
