| Text: | Happy the Home When God Is There |
| Tune: | DOWNS |
| Composer: | Lowell Mason |
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 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 home agree,
This blessed peace to gain;
Unite our hearts in love to thee,
And love to all will reign.
