O love divine and gold­en,
Mysterious depth and height,
To Thee the world be­hold­en,
Looks up for life and light;
O love di­vine and gen­tle,
The bless­er and the blest,
Beneath Thy care pa­rent­al
The world lies down in rest.

O love di­vine and ten­der,
That through our homes dost move,
Veiled in the soft­ened splen­dor
O ho­ly house­hold love,
A throne with­out Thy bless­ing
Were la­bor without rest,
And cot­tages pos­sess­ing
Thy bless­ed­ness are blest.

God bless these hands un­it­ed;
God bless these hearts made one!
Unsevered and un­blight­ed
May they through life go on,
Here in earth’s home pre­par­ing
For the bright home above,
And there for­ev­er shar­ing
Its joy where God is love.
