Happy the Home

1Happy the home when God is there,
And love fills every breast;
When one their wish, and one their prayer,
And one their heavenly rest.

2Happy the home where Jesus' name Is sweet to every ear;
Where children early lisp His fame,
And parents hold Him dear.

3Happy the home where prayer is heard,
And praise is wont to rise;
Where parents love the Sacred Word And all its wisdom prize.

4Lord, let us in our homes agree This blessed peace to gain;
Unite our hearts in love to Thee,
And love to all will reign.
