How Blest a Home!

Author: Janette W. Trench Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2492 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: How blest a home! The Father's house Lyrics: 1. How blest a home! The Father’s house! There love divine doth rest; What else could satisfy the hearts Of those in Jesus blest? His home made ours—His Father’s love Our heart’s full portion given, The portion of the Firstborn Son, The full delight of Heav’n. 2. Oh, what a home! The Son who knows, He only—all His love; And brings us as His well belovèd, To that bright rest above, Dwells in His bosom—knoweth all That in that bosom lies, And came to earth to make it known, That we might share His joys. 3. Oh, what a home! There fullest love Flows through its courts of light; The Son’s divine affections flow Throughout its depth and height. And full response the Father gives, To fill with joy the heart— No cloud is there to dim the scene, Or shadow to impart. 4. Oh, what a home! But such His love That He must bring us there, To fill that home, to be with Him, And all His glory share. The Father’s house, the Father’s heart, All that the Son is given Made ours—the objects of His love And He, our joy in Heav’n. Languages: English Tune Title: DRINK TO ME ONLY

Composer of "DRINK TO ME ONLY" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
