In holy faith and blessed hope are one,
Whom death a little while alone divideth,
And cannot end the union here begun!

3 O happy home, whose little ones are given
Early to Thee, in humble faith and prayer,
To Thee, their Friend, Who from the heights of heaven
Guides them, and guards with more than mother's care!

4 O happy home, where each one serves Thee, lowly,
Whatever his appointed work may be,

Till every common task seems great and holy,
When it is done, O Lord, as unto Thee!

5 O happy home, where Thou art not forgotten
When joy is overflowing, full and free,

O happy home, where every wounded spirit
Is brought, Physician, Comforter, to Thee,

6 Until at last, when earth's day's-work is ended,
All meet Thee in the blessèd home above,
From whence Thou camest, where Thou hast ascended,
Thy everlasting Home of peace and love! Amen.

Since they have entered there;
To follow them were not so hard,`
Wherever they may fare;

They cannot be where God is not,
On any sea or shore;
Whate'er betides, Thy love abides,
Our God, for evermore. Amen.
