16262. 'Tis Good, Beyond All Other Good

1 ’Tis good, be­yond all oth­er good,
To dai­ly live in pray­er,
To rear an al­tar to our God,
And meet re­joic­ing there.

2 No nob­ler, no more cheer­ing sight
In this dark world we see
Than when a house­hold all unite
In fer­vent pi­ety.

3 The Chris­tian’s heart is Je­sus’ throne,
His home is Je­sus’, too,
He is not left an hour alone,
But still in Je­sus’ view.

4 Sweet home where fel­low­ship divine
The soul with grace sup­plies,
Such home, O God, be ev­er mine,
And mine such hal­lowed joys.
