Children of the Heavenly Father
Author: Caroline V. Sandell-Berg; Ernst W. Olson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 105 hymnals Topics: Home and Family Lyrics: 1 Children of the heavenly Father
safely in his bosom gather;
nestling bird nor star in heaven
such a refuge e'er was given.
2 God his own doth tend and nourish;
in his holy courts they flourish;
from all evil things he spares them;
in his mighty arms he bears them.
3 Neither life nor death shall ever
from the Lord his children sever;
unto them his grace he showeth,
and their sorrows all he knoweth.
4 Though he giveth or he taketh,
God his children ne'er forsaketh;
his the loving purpose solely
to preserve them pure and holy. Used With Tune: TRYGGARE KAN INGEN VARA

Happy the Home When God Is There
Author: Henry Ware, the younger, 1794-1843 Appears in 90 hymnals Topics: Home and Family 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.

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. Used With Tune: ST. AGNES

Faith of our Mothers
Author: A. B. Patten Appears in 41 hymnals Topics: Home and Family First Line: Faith of our mothers, living still Lyrics: 1 Faith of our mothers, living still
In cradle song and bedtime prayer;
In nursery lore and fireside love,
Thy presence still pervades the air:
Faith of our mothers, living faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
2 Faith of our mothers, loving faith,
Fount of our childhood's trust and grace,
Oh, may thy consecration prove
Source of a finer, nobler race:
Faith of our mothers, living faith,
We will be true to thee till death.
3 Faith of our mothers, guiding faith,
For youthful longing, youthful doubt,
How blurred our vision, blind our way,
Thy providential care without:
Faith of our mothers, guiding faith,
We will be true to thee till death.
4 Faith of our mothers, Christian faith,
In truth beyond our stumbling creeds,
Still serve the home and save the Church,
And breathe thy spirit thro' our deeds:
Faith of our mothers, Christian faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
Faith of our Mothers
O Perfect Love
Author: Dorothy F. Gurney; John Ellerton Appears in 241 hymnals Topics: Home and Family Lyrics: 1 O perfect Love, all human thought transcending,
Lowly we kneel in prayer before Thy throne,
That theirs may be the love which knows no ending,
Whom Thou forevermore dost join in one.
2 O perfect Life, be Thou their full assurance
Of tender charity and steadfast faith,
Of patient hope, and quiet, brave endurance,
With childlike trust that fears not pain nor death.
3 Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow;
Grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife,
And to life's day the glorious, unknown morrow
That dawns upon eternal love and life.
4 Hear us, O Father, gracious and forgiving,
Through Jesus Christ, Thy co-eternal Word,
Who, with the Holy Ghost, by all things living
Now and to endless ages art adored.
Amen. Used With Tune: [O perfect Love]

Bring in the day of brotherhood
And end the night of wrong.

The Church for you doth wait;
Her strength unequal to her task;
Rise up, and make her great!

Tread where his feet have trod.
As brothers of the Son of man,
Rise up, O men of God! Used With Tune: [Rise up, O men of God]

The Way of the Cross Leads Home
Author: Jessie B. Pounds Appears in 252 hymnals Topics: Home and Family First Line: I must needs go home by the way of the cross Lyrics: 1 I must needs go home by the way of the cross,
There’s no other way but this;
I shall ne’er get sight of the Gates of Light,
If the way of the cross I miss.
Chorus:
The way of the cross leads home,
The way of the cross leads home;
It is sweet to know, as I onward go,
The way of the cross leads home.
2 I must needs go on in the blood-sprinkled way,
The path that the Savior trod,
If I ever climb to the heights sublime,
Where the soul is at home with God. (Chorus)
3 Then I bid farewell to the way of the world,
To walk in it never more;
For my Lord says “Come,” and I seek my home,
Where He waits at the open door. (Chorus)
Used With Tune: [I must needs go home by the way of the cross]
