Happy the home when God is there

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 655.

Verse 1

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.

Verse 2

Happy the home where Jesus’ name Is sweet to every ear; Where children early speak his fame, And parents hold him dear.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
