1. There is beauty all around When there’s love at home;
There is joy in ev’ry sound When there’s
love at home.
Peace and plenty here abide, Smiling
sweet on ev’ry side.
Time doth softly, sweetly glide When
there’s love at home.
2. 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 bloom beneath our feet; All the
earth’s a garden sweet,
Making life a bliss complete When
there’s love at home.
3. Kindly heaven smiles above When there’s love at home;
All the world is filled with love When
there’s love at home.
Sweeter sings the brooklet by; Brighter
beams the azure sky.
Oh, there’s One who smiles on high When
there’s love at home.
Love at home, love at home;
Oh, there’s One who smiles on high
When there’s love at home.
