Happy the Home

 Words by Henry Ware, Jr., alt. B.J. Leech, © 1976;

Happy the home when God is there and love fills everyone
When with united work and prayer the Master’s will is done
When with united work and prayer the Master’s will is done
Happy the home when God is there

Happy the home where God's strong love is starting to appear
Where all the children hear His fame and parents hold Him dear
Where all the children hear His fame and parents hold Him dear
Happy the home where they hold Him dear.

Happy the home where prayer is heard and praise is everywhere
Where parents love the sacred Word and its true wisdom share
Where parents love the sacred Word and its true wisdom share
Happy the Home where they love the Word

Happy the home where we forgive each slight both large and small
For thus we show our thanks to God forgiver of us all
For thus we show our thanks to God forgiver of us all
Happy the Home where they can forgive

Now let us in our homes agree, this blessed peace to gain
Unite our hearts in love to Thee and love to all will reign
Unite our hearts in love to Thee and love to all
And love for all
And love over all will reign
Happy the Home where the Lord reigns

Happy the home - Happy the heart - Happy the Church

Where the Lord reigns
Where they can forgive
Where they Love the Word
When God is there
