Love at Home
A popular and beloved LDS hymn serves as a theme for our home, especially when combined with this large visual reminder that rests above the fireplace mantel in our kitchen. Although things may not always as be we'd like, the inspiring words of this song provide the vision for an ideal atmosphere.
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. 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. 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. Love at home, love at home; Oh, there’s One who smiles on high When there’s love at home. |
Text and music by John Hugh McNaughton, 1829–1921

Family First
Among the various projects and activities that fill my time, I hope
it is obvious that my darling family comes first. Even in pursuing
and strengthening God-given talents and striving to use them for
His purposes here on earth, my heart is foremost with my home,
for my husband is my love and my children are my life.
