O Love divine
and golden,
Mysterious
depth and
height,
To Thee the
world beholden,
Looks up for
life and light;
O Love divine
and gentle,
The blesser and
the blest,
Beneath Thy
care parental
The world lies
down in rest.
O Love divine
and tender,
That through
our homes dost
move,
Veiled in the
softened
splendor
O holy
household love,
A throne
without Thy
blessing
Were labor
without rest,
And cottages
possessing
Thy blessedness
are blest.
God bless
these hands
united;
God bless these
hearts made
one!
Unsevered and
unblighted
May they
through life go
on,
Here in earth�s
home preparing
For the bright
home above,
And there
forever sharing
Its joy where
�God is Love.�
