Author: Carlton C. Buck Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #695 (1989) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Particular Times of Worship Special Days; Church Education; Home and Family Lyrics: 1 O Lord, may church and home combine
to teach thy perfect way,
with gentleness and love like thine,
that none shall ever stray.
2 Let all unworthy aims depart,
imbue us with thy grace;
within the home let every heart
become thy dwelling place.
3 Shine, Light divine; reveal thy face
where darkness else might be.
Grant, Love divine, in every place
glad fellowship with thee.
4 May steadfast faith and earnest prayer
keep sacred vows secure;
build thou a hallowed dwelling where
true joy and peace endure. Languages: English Tune Title: LAND OF REST
O Lord, May Church and Home Combine
