Happy the home when God is there

Author: Henry Ware (1794-1843) Appears in 84 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Happy the home when God is there And love fills every breast, Where one their wish, and one their prayer, And one their heavenly rest. 2 Happy the home where Jesus’ name Is sweet to 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, And live but for the skies. 4 Lord! let us in our homes agree This blessèd peace to gain; Unite our hearts in love to thee, And love to all will reign.

Home is home, however lowly

Author: Arthur Smith Arnott (1870-1941) Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Home is home, however lowly, Home is sweet when love is there, Home is home when hearts are holy, Earth has ne’er a spot so fair. Jesus makes our home a heaven, Sacred in the fireside warm; After battling through the long day, Home’s a shelter from the storm. 2 To a little home in Bethany Jesus loved to wend his way; Tender hearts were waiting for him In the evening of the day. Jesus there dispelled the sadness, There the humble meal he blessèd; There they worshipped him with gladness; There his sacred form would rest. 3 Let us make our home the threshold Of the city bright and fair, Each the other’s joy possessing, Each the other’s burden share. In the storm of deep affliction Let us seek the heavenly balm, In life’s tempest just remember Prayer will make the storm a calm. Topics: Means of grace Family worship - Home

New every morning is the love

Author: John Keble (1792-1866) Appears in 362 hymnals Lyrics: 1 New every morning is the love Our wakening and uprising prove, Through sleep and darkness safely brought, Restored to life and power and thought. 2 If on our daily course our mind Be set to hallow all we find, New treasures still of countless price God will provide for sacrifice. 3 Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be As more of Heaven in each we see; Some softening gleam of love and prayer Shall dawn on every cross and care. 4 The trivial round, the common task, Will furnish all we ought to ask; Room to deny ourselves, a road To bring us daily nearer God. 5 Only, O Lord, in thy great love, Fit us for perfect rest above; And help us, this and every day, To live more nearly as we pray.
