Happy the Home When God Is There
Henry Ware (1846) • English
Primary Scripture: Genesis 18:19
Verse 1
Happy the home when God is there, And love fills every breast; When one their wish, and one their prayer, And one their heav’nly rest.
Verse 2
Happy the home where Jesus’ name Is sweet to every ear; Where children early speak His fame, And parents hold Him dear.
Verse 3
Happy the home where prayer is heard, And praise is wont to rise; Where parents love the sacred Word And all its wisdom prize.
Verse 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.
