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 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. Scripture: Joshua 24:15 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. AGNES
