Hymn
Love at Home
There is beauty all around,
When there's love at home;
There is joy in every sound,
When there's love at home;
Peace and plenty here abide,
Smiling sweet on every side,
Time doth softly, sweetly glide,
When there's love at home.
Love at home, love at home;
Time doth softly, sweetly glide,
When there's love at home.
Kindly heaven smiles above,
When there's love at home;
All the earth is filled with love,
When there's love at home.
Sweeter sings the brooklet by,
Brighter beams the azure sky:
Oh, there's One who smiles on high
When there's love at home.
Jesus, show thy mercy mine,
Then there's love at home;
Sweetly whisper I am thine.
Then there's love at home.
Source of love, thy cheering light
Far exceeds the sun so bright—
Can dispel the gloom of night;
Then there's love at home.
