O Blessèd Home Where Man and Wife

O bless­èd home where man and wife

Together lead a god­ly life

By deeds their faith con­fess­ing!

There ma­ny a hap­py day is spent

There Je­sus glad­ly will con­sent

To tar­ry with His bless­ing.

If they have giv­en Him their heart

The place of ho­nor set apart

For Him each night and mor­row

Then He the storms of life will calm

Will bring for ev­ery wound a balm

And change to joy their sor­row.

And if their home be dark and drear

The cruse be emp­ty

hun­ger near

All hope with­in them dy­ing

Let them des­pair not in dis­tress;

Lo

Christ is there the bread to bless

The frag­ments mul­ti­ply­ing.

O Lord

we come be­fore Thy face;

In ev­ery home be­stow Thy grace

On child­ren

fa­ther

mo­ther

Relieve their wants

their bur­dens ease

Let them to­ge­ther dwell in peace

And love to one an­oth­er.
