Author: James Holme Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: ’Tis good, beyond all other good Lyrics: 1 ’Tis good, beyond all other good,
To daily live in prayer,
To rear an altar to our God,
And meet rejoicing there.
2 No nobler, no more cheering sight
In this dark world we see
Than when a household all unite
In fervent piety.
3 The Christian’s heart is Jesus’ throne,
His home is Jesus’, too,
He is not left an hour alone,
But still in Jesus’ view.
4 Sweet home where fellowship divine
The soul with grace supplies,
Such home, O God, be ever mine,
And mine such hallowed joys.
