My Grandfather’s favorite song
The older I get, the more I understand why my Grandpa Baldwin’s favorite song was Love at Home. I can’t help but think of him whenever I hear this hymn.
When There’s Love At Home
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.
Chorus: Love at home, Love at home.
Time doth softly, sweetly glide, when there’s love at home.
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.
Chorus: Love at home, Love at home.
Making life a bliss complete, when there’s love at home.
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.
Chorus: Love at home, Love at home.
Oh, there’s One who smiles on high, when there’s love at home.
