O there's joy in every heart

1 O There's joy in every heart
When there’s love at home;
There’s a smile on every face
When there’s love at home!
Voices have a kindly sound,
Happiness beams all around,
Peace and gentleness abound
When there’s love at home.

Refrain:
Love at home! Love at home!
There’s an angel in the house
When there’s love at home.

2 O there’s sunshine on the hearth
When there’s love at home,
And there’s music in the air
When there’s love at home!
Faces at the door are sweet,
Laughter echoes in the street,
Paths are smooth for little feet
When there’s love at home.

3 When there’s Jesus in the midst,
There is love at home;
He will teach you what to do
When there’s love at home;
Help you in life’s busy mart;
Whisper softly in your heart
Of the bright and better part,
When there’s love at home.
