Which crowns our families with peace:
From thee they spring, and by thy hand
They have been, and are still sustain'd.
2 To God, most worthy to be prais'd,
Be our domestic altars rais'd;
Who, Lord of heaven, scorns not to dwell
With saints in their obscurest cell.
3 To thee may each united house,
Morning and night, present its vows;
Our servants there, and rising race
Be taught thy precepts, and thy grace.
4 O may each future age proclaim
The honors of thy glorious name;
While pleas'd and thankful, we remove
To join the family above. Scripture: Genesis 18:19 Languages: English
