Happy the Home

Happy the home when God is there,

And love fills every breast;

When one their wish, and one their prayer,

And one their heavenly rest.

Happy the home where Jesus’ name

Is sweet to every ear;

Where children early lisp His fame,

And parents hold Him dear.

Happy the home where prayer is heard,

And praise is wont to rise;

Where parents love the Sacred Word

And all its wisdom prize.

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.
