“A Christian Home” (Vs.1,2,3)
Vs. 1: O give us homes built firm up-on the Sav-ior, Where Christ is Head and Coun-sel–lor and Guide; Where ev-ery child is taught His love and fa-vor, And gives his heart to Christ, the cru-ci-fied: How sweet to know that though his foot-steps wa-ver His faith-ful Lord is walk-ing by his side!
Vs. 2: O give us homes with god-ly fa-thers, moth-ers, Who al-ways place their hope and trust in Him; Whose ten-der pa – tience tur-moil nev-er both-ers, Whose calm and cour-age trou-ble can-not dim; A home where each finds joy in serv-ing oth-ers, And love still shines, tho days be dark and grim.
Vs. 3: O Lord, our God, our homes are Thine for-ev-er! We trust to Thee their prob-lems, toil, and care; Their bonds of love no en – e-my can sev-er, If Thou art al-ways Lord and Mas-ter there: Be Thou the cen – ter of our least en – deav-or, Be Thou our Guest, our hearts and homes to share.
