Author: Henry Ware, Jr., 1794-1843 Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #720 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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 homes agree,
this blessed peace to gain;
unite our hearts in love to thee,
and love to all will reign.
