Happy the Home
(or Happy the Home When God Is There)
}
Happy the home when God is there
And love fills ev'ryone,
When with united work and pray'r
The Master's will is done.
Happy the home where God's strong love
Is starting to appear
Where all the children hear
His fame and parents hold Him dear.
Happy the home where pray'r is heard
And praise is ev'rywhere,
Where parents love the sacred
Word And its true wisdom share.
Lord, let us in our homes
This blessed peace to gain;
Unite our hearts in love to Thee,
And love to all will reign.
