O happy home, where two in heart united In holy faith and blessed hope are one; Where joys are shared and love flows undivided, And where Thy holy will, O Lord, is done. 2 O happy home, whose little ones are given Early to Thee, in humble faith and prayer, To Thee, their Friend, who from the heights of heaven Guides them, and guards with more than mother's care! O happy home, where each one serves Thee, lowly, Whatever his appointed work may be, Till every common task seems great and holy, When it is done, O Lord, as unto Thee! 3 O happy home, where Thou art not forgotten When joy is overflowing, full, and free; O happy home, where every wounded spirit Is brought, Physician, Comforter, to Thee, Until at last, when earth's day's work is ended, All meet Thee in the blessed home above, From whence Thou camest, where Thou hast ascended, Thy everlasting home of peace and love!

Your mercy, my God, is the theme of my song

Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 97 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 3:18 Lyrics: 1 Your mercy, my God, is the theme of my song, the joy of my heart, and the boast of my tongue; your free grace alone, from the first to the last, has won my affections, and bound my soul fast. 2 Your mercy in Jesus has freed me from hell; its glories I'll sing and its wonders I'll tell; this Jesus my friend, when he hung on the tree, there opened the channel of mercy for me. 3 Your mercy is more than a match for my heart, which wonders to feel its own hardness depart; in awe at your goodness, I fall to the ground, and weep to the praise of the mercy I found. 4 The door of your mercy stands open to all— the poor and the needy, whoever shall call; no sinner who comes seeking mercy today is ever by Jesus sent empty away. 5 Great Father of mercies, your goodness I own, and the covenant love of your crucified Son: all praise to the Spirit, whose whisper divine seals mercy and pardon and righteousness mine.

Eternal Light! Eternal Light!

Author: Thomas Binney 1798-1874 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 92 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 3:18 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Light! Eternal Light! How pure the soul must be, when, placed within your searching sight, it shrinks not, but with calm delight can face such majesty. 2 The spirits that surround your throne may bear the burning bliss; but that is surely theirs alone, since they have never, never known a fallen world like this. 3 O how shall I, whose dwelling here is dark, whose mind is dim, before the face of God appear and on my human spirit bear the uncreated beam? 4 There is a way for man to rise to that sublime abode: an offering and a sacrifice, a Holy Spirit’s energies, an advocate with God. 5 Such grace prepares us for the sight of holiness above: those once in ignorance and night can dwell in the eternal Light, through the eternal Love.
