A Christian Home
Verse 1
O give us homes built firm upon the Saviour, Where Christ is Head and Counsellor and Guide; Where ev'ry child is taught His love and favour, And gives his heart to Christ, the Crucified: How sweet to know that tho' his foot-steps waver, His faithful Lord is walking by his side!
Verse 2
O give us homes with godly fathers, mothers, Who always place their hope and trust in Him; Whose tender patience turmoil never bothers, Whose calm and courage trouble cannot dim; A home where each finds joy in serving others, And love still shines, tho' days be dark and grim.
Verse 3
O give us homes where Christ is Lord and Master, The Bible read, the precious hymns still sung; Where pray'r comes first in peace or in disaster, And praise is natural speech to ev'ry tongue; Where mountains move before a faith that's vaster, And Christ sufficient is for old and young.
Verse 4
O Lord, our God, our homes are Thine forever! We trust to Thee their problems, toil, and care; Their bonds of love no enemy can sever If Thou art always Lord and Master there: Be Thou the center of our least endeavour Be Thou our Guest, our hearts and homes to share.
