O Happy Home Where Thou Art Loved

1. O happy home, where thou art
Loved the dearest, thou loving Friend and
Savior of our race, and where among
The guests there never cometh one
Who can hold such high and honored place!

2. O happy home,
Where two in heart united in holy
Faith and blessed hope are one, whom death a
Little while alone divideth,
And cannot end the union here begun!

3. O happy home, whose little
Ones are given early to thee in
Humble faith and prayer, to thee, their Friend,
Who from the heights of heaven guides them,
And guards with more than mother's care!

4. O happy home, where each one serves thee,
Lowly, whatever his appointed work may be,
Till ev'ry common task seems great and holy,
When it is done, O Lord, as unto thee!

5. O happy home, where thou art not
Forgotten when joy is overflowing,
Full and free, O happy home,
Where ev'ry wounded spirit is brought,
Physician, Comforter, to thee

6. Until at last, when earth's day's work is ended,
All meet thee in the blessed home above,
From whence thou camest, where thou hast ascended,
Thine everlasting home of peace and love.
