The Happiest Home

Where is the happiest home on earth?

Tis not 'mid scenes of noisy mirth;

But where God's favor, sought aright,

Fills every breast with joy and light.

The richest home? It is not found

Where wealth and splendor most abound;

But wheresoe'er, in hall or cot,

Men live contented with their lot.

The fairest home? It is not placed

In scenes with outward beauty graced;

But where kind words and smiles impart

A constant sunshine to the heart.

On such a home of peace and love

God showers his blessing from above;

And angels, watching o'er it, cry,

"Lo! this is like our home on high!"
