Author: C.C.L von Pfeil Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 33 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O blest the house, whate'er befall,
Where Jesus Christ is all in all;
Yea, if He were not dwelling there,
How dark and poor and void it were!
2 O blest that house where faith ye find,
And all within have set their mind
To trust their God and serve Him still,
And do, in all, His holy will.
3 O blest the parents who give heed
Unto their children's foremost need,
And weary not of care or cost;
To them and heaven shall none be lost.
4 Blest such a house, it prospers well,
In peace and joy the parents dwell,
And in their children's lot is shown
How richly God can bless His own.
5 Then here will I and mine to-day
A solemn covenant make and say:
Though all the world forsake Thy word,
I and my house will serve the Lord. Topics: The Church Year Second Sunday after Epiphany; The Church Year Third Sunday after Epiphany Used With Tune: [O blest this house, what'er befall]
O blest the house, whate'er befall
