Wednesday's Word: There Is Beauty All Around (When There's Love At Home)

 

"Through skillful and godly Wisdom a home is built, and by
 understanding it is established on a sound and good foundation.
And by knowledge shall its chambers of every area be filled 
 with all precious and pleasant riches."
(Proverbs 24: 3-4)

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 sweet on every side

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

In the cottage there is joy, When there's love at home;

Hate and envy ne'er annoy, When there's love at home.

Roses blossom 'neath our feet, All the earth's a garden sweet,

Making life a bliss complete, When there's love at home.

Kindly 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.

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 distressed,

Through Thy tender mercy blest; Then there's love at home.
