Author: H. W. Flickinger Hymnal: Victorious Life Hymns #93 (1919) First Line: Just a word from the Bible with pray'r Lyrics: 1 Just a word from the Bible with pray’r,
At the dawn of the day and its close;
It will guide thro’ the day’s busy struggles,
It will fit one for night’s calm repose.
Refrain:
Keep the fire on the home altar burning,
Let the incense of praise daily rise
To the throne of the Father in heaven,
For the blessings He daily supplies.
2 How it sweetens the joys of the home life,
When the altar of worship is reared;
Where the old and the young kneel together,
And the name of the Lord is revered. [Refrain]
3 Where the song and the pray’r sweetly mingle
‘Round the circle of praise ev’ry day,
Such a home the dear Lord loves to dwell in,
For He knows He is welcome to stay. [Refrain]
4 Oh, how sweet is the charm of that household,
Where the word of the Lord, all obey;
Like the perfume of roses, pervasive,
Its rich fragrance extends far away. [Refrain] Topics: The Bible; Prayer and Confession Tune Title: [Just a word from the Bible with pray'r]
