O bless?d 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.
