Author: Henry Ware, the younger, 1794-1843 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #703 (1997) 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.
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. Topics: Family; Home; One Life in Christ Love; Peace; Prayer / Prayers / Poems Scripture: Psalm 127 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. AGNES, DURHAM
