The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#164

164. There is beauty all around

1 There is beauty all around
When there’s love at home;
There is joy in every sound
When there’s love at home.
Peace and plenty here abide,
Smiling sweet on every side,
Time doth softly, sweetly glide
When there’s love at home.
Love at home, love at home;
Time doth softly, sweetly glide,
When there’s love at home.

2 In the cottage there is joy
When there’s love at home;
Hate and envy ne’er annoy
When there’s love at home.
Roses blossom 'neath our feet,
All the earth’s a garden sweet,
Making life a bliss complete,
When there’s love at home.

3 Kindly heaven smiles above
When there’s love at home;
All the earth is filled with love
When there’s love at home.
Sweeter sings the brooklet by,
Brighter beams the azure sky,
Oh, there’s One who smiles on high
When there’s love at home.

4 Jesus, make me wholly thine,
Then there's love at home
May thy sacrifice be mine,
Then there's love at home.
Safely from all harm I'll rest,
With no sinful care distressed,
Thro' thy tender mercy blessed
With thy love at home.
