Heart of Home

Lord, let our house be something more

Than just a shelter with a door;

May its windows glow with light,

Shedding radiance through the night.

Not just glitter of glass and chrome,

But give it the "feel" of a happy home.



Let it have flowers, a well-loved book,

Soft cushions in a quiet nook.

May it be more than downy bed,

or snowy cloth with silver spread;

Lend it some smiles, warm sympathy,

With kindly thought, true charity-

That all may recall, though far they roam,

That God was there- in the heart of home
