1 Happy the home when God is there,
and love fills every breast,
when one their wish, and one their prayer,
and one their heavenly rest.
2 Happy the home where Jesus' name
is sweet in 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
that makes us truly wise.
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.
