Happy the home when God is there
Author: Henry Ware, the younger, 1794-1843 Appears in 96 hymnals Topics: One Life in Christ Love Lyrics: 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.

unite our hearts in love to thee,

We give thee but thine own
Author: William Walsham How, 1823-1897 Appears in 512 hymnals Topics: One Life in Christ Discipleship Lyrics: 1 We give thee but thine own,
whate'er the gift may be;

a trust, O Lord, from thee.

as stewards true receive,
and gladly, as thou blessest us,
to thee our first-fruits give.
3 To comfort and to bless,
to find a balm for woe,
to tend the lonely in distress
is angels' work below.
4 The captive to release,
to God the lost to bring,
to teach the way of life and peace,
it is a Christ-like thing.
5 And we believe thy word,
though dim our faith may be:
whate'er for thine we do, O Lord,
we do it unto thee. Scripture: Exodus 23:26 Used With Tune: FRANCONIA
We give thee but thine own

for I know, whate’er befall me
Jesus doeth all things well.
2 All the way my Saviour leads me,
cheers each winding path I tread,
gives me grace for every trial,
feeds me with the living bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
and my soul athirst may be,
gushing from the rock before me
lo, a spring of joy I see.
3 All the way my Saviour leads me,
oh the fullness of his love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
in my Father’s house above.
