Ab        Bbm  Ab   Bbm Eb Ab
Happy the home when God is there,

And love fills ev-ery breast;

[[Full Lyrics]]

[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.
