1There is beauty all around, When there's love at home;
There is joy in every sound, When there's love at home.
Peace and plenty here abide, Smiling fair on every side;
Time doth softly, sweetly glide, When there's love at home.

RefrainLove at home, love at home;
Time doth softly, sweetly glide, When there's love at home.

2Kindly heaven smiles above, When there's love at home;
All the earth is filled with love, When there's love at home.
Sweeter sings the brooklet by, Brighter beams the azure sky;
O, there's One who smiles on high When there's love at home.

3Jesus, make me wholly Thine, Then there's love at home;
May Thy sacrifice be mine, With no sinful care distressed,
Safely from all harm I'll rest, Through Thy tender mercy blessed, When there's love at home.
