Homes Are God's Purest Shrines

Author: Clarence Biddle Felton Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Homes are God’s purest shrines Lyrics: 1 Homes are God’s purest shrines Where His love strongest speaketh; In these loved walls we’ve felt all the days, That which the heart e’er seeketh. 2 Words that were wise and pure Down thro’ the years resounded; Sent us all forth with purposes strong Because in Him we’re grounded. 3 Our paths of service course Thro’ many fields and nations; But all the roads lead on t’ward His home, Blest of all habitations. 4 The calls to duty come, Bringing their joy and sorrow; And when they come we love to obey, Trusting in God’s tomorrow. 5 Here we shall meet no more In this home filled with mem’ries; ’Tis God’s good will, for each of us best; He will reveal more glories.
