A Christian Home

Verse 1:

O give us homes built firm upon the Savior, Where Christ is Head and Counselor and Guide; Where every child is taught His love and favor, And gives his heart to Christ, the crucified.

Verse 2:

O give us homes with godly fathers, mothers, Who always place their hope and faith in Him; Whose tender patience turmoil never bothers, Whose calm and courage trouble cannot dim.

Verse 3:

O give us homes where Christ is Lord and Master, The Bible read, the precious hymns still sung; Where prayer comes first in peace or in disaster, And praise is natural speech to every tongue.

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.
