O God in heaven, whose loving plan ordained for us our parents' care, and from the time our life began, the shelter of a home to share. Refrain Our Father, on the homes we love, send down thy blessing from above. May young and old together know in Christ, the Lord of every day, that fellowship will mark our homes in joy and sorrow, work and play. Refrain Forgive the sins that mar our lives; our selfishness by love subdue; as parents, children, make us wise in glad obedience to you. Refrain O Father, in our homes preside, and bless our housework with delight; in kindly ways be now our guide, on mirth and trouble spread thy light. Refrain
