Love at Home

Lyrics by
John Hugh McNaughton (1876)
Music by
Joseph Parry (1880)
Tune
DOHANOS · 8.7.8.7.D
Scripture
1 John 4:7-8
Verse 1
There 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.
Refrain
Love at home, love at home;
Time doth softly, sweetly glide,
When there's love at home.
Verse 2
Kindly heaven smiles above,
When there's love at home;
All the earth is fill'd 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.
Verse 3
Jesus, make me wholly Thine,
Then there's love at home;
May Thy sacrifice be mine,
Then there's love at home.
Safely from all harm I'll rest,
With no sinful care distress'd,
Thro' Thy tender mercy blessed,
When there's love at home.

A Welsh hymn celebrating the virtue of love as the bond of Christian households.
