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 a 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 downey 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
