Author: Henry Ware, the younger, (1794-1843) Hymnal: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #655 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Happy the home when God is there, And love fills every breast 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 to every ear;
Where children early speak 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 all its wisdom prize.
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: Christian Home Love in the Home Tune Title: ST. AGNES (Dykes)
