1. Oh blest the house, what- e'er be- fall, Where Je- sus Christ is All in All; Yea, if He were not dwell- ing there, How poor and dark and void it were!

2. Oh blest that house where faith ye find, And all with- in have set their mind To trust their God and serve Him still, And do in all His ho- ly will.

3. Blest, where their prayers shall dai- ly rise As frag- rant in- cense to the skies, While in their lives the world is taught That forms with- out the heart are naught.

4. Blest, where the bu- sy hands ful- fil Their pro- per task with rea- dy skill, While through their diff- erent works ye see One spi- rit run of u- ni- ty.

5. Blest such a house, it pros- pers well, In peace and joy the par- ents dwell, And in their child- ren's lot is shown How rich- ly God can bless His own.
