Author: Henry Ware, the younger, 1794-1843 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #472 (1957) 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 heav'nly rest.
2 Happy the home where Jesus' Name
Is sweet to every 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,
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.
Amen. Topics: Dedication of Home; Home Languages: English Tune Title: ST. AGNES
Happy the Home When God Is There
