Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#466

466. Happy the Home When God Is There

1 Happy the home when God is there,
and love fills ev'ry breast;
when one their wish, and one their prayer,
and one their heav’nly rest.

2 Happy the home where Jesus’ name
is sweet to ev'ry ear,
where children early speak His fame,
and parents hold Him dear.

3 Happy the home where prayer is heard,
and praise is quick 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.
