God bless the home, tho’ hum­ble,
So full of love’s sweet light;
God bless the lit­tle child­ren,
With their sweet fac­es bright;
God bless the mo­ther tender,
God bless the fa­ther, too;
God make us fond and faith­ful,
God keep us kind and true.

God bless the home, where dai­ly
The songs of praise arise;
Where all kneel round the altar,
And of­fer sac­ri­fice.
Alas! for homes where nev­er
Is heard the voice of pray­er;
Alas! for homes, when Je­sus,
Is nev­er men­tioned there!

Alas! for homes, where sor­row
Like night must ev­er brood;
Where child­ren lack for cloth­ing,
And for their dai­ly food.
God bless the home He gives us,
The home that gave us birth;
God keep us fond and faith­ful,
And make it Hea­ven on earth.
