Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A 19th-century hymn by Henry Ware Jr. celebrating the Christian home where God, Jesus, love, and prayer are central to family life. Each stanza describes a dimension of faith that makes a home truly 'happy.'
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.
