Down in our lowly home All goes so well; All pleasures
hither come To our sweet dell; Father so brave is here, Mother so
kind and dear! Oh, in our lowly home All goes so well.
Down by our fireside neat Love rules the hours Thro’ winter’s
icy sleet And summer’s flow’rs. Children, a happy band, Kind words and
gentle hand: Oh, by our fireside neat Love rules the hours.
Why in our peaceful cot Goes all so well? Why here love
faileth not Can any tell? Jesus abides within, Guarding from
strife and sin. O Saviour, evermore Here with us dwell.
