A Christian Home

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
How sweet to know
That though his footsteps waver
His faithful Lord
Is walking by his side!

O give us homes
With godly mothers and fathers
Who always place
Their hope and trust in Him
Whose tender patience
Turmoil never bothers
Whose calm and courage
Trouble cannot dim
A home where each finds joy
In serving others
And love still shines
Though days be dark and grim

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
Be Thou the center
Of our least endeavor
Be Thou our Guest
Our hearts and our homes to share
