GRH 591 Behold the Joy of Christian Homes

(1)
When the Lord is welcomed,
Joyful is home;
He the Guest respected,
Joyful is home;
Where He is expected,
Grace and love reflected,
Fine relations strengthened,
Joyful is home.

(2)
Where the ancient sages,
Joyful is home;
Spread God’s revelation,
Joyful is home.
Parent child relation,
Fam’ly race and nation,
Are in good instructed
Joyful is home.

(3)
Man and wife both praise Him,
Joyful is home,
Have the same devotion,
Joyful is home,
Children early know Him,
Trust His kind protection,
Gain from life rich knowledge,
Joyful is home.

(4)
Pray Lord, be our teacher,
Gladden our home,
Comfort, strengthen, cheer us,
Gladden our home,
Give us peace in sadness,
Gratitude in gladness,
Help us all be faithful,
Gladden our home.
