A Consecrated Home

What makes a consecrated home?
A palace with its lofty dome?
A castle or the catacomb
Where Christians prayed in ancient Rome?
Is that a consecrated home?

Ah no, ’tis not an outer thing
That to your home this name will bring;
Within must rise two hearts that sing The praises of our Lord and King.
That makes a consecrated home.

If there your child can find a guide
To point him to the heavenly bride;
If there, to you he can confide;
’Tis then you’ll know down deep inside
You’ve found your consecrated home.

If there the harvest workers meet
And seek new ways to find the wheat;
If there they sit at Jesus’ feet
And share with you “due season’s meat;”
You’re in your consecrated home.

If friends can open wide your door
To share their joys, or help implore;
And you share with them your little store,
You can be glad for more and more,
You have a consecrated home.

If there the truths of God you share,
If there for friends you truly care,
If there you often bow in prayer And help someone his burden bear,
You’re in a consecrated home.

And when convention’s joyful fest
Brings to your home its welcome guest
And fellowship is at its best,
’Tis then you’ll know that you are blest
Within your consecrated home.

May each of us have such a place,
Where Christian brethren we embrace,
Where Jesus’ steps we seek to trace
’Till someday soon we see his face
In a heavenly consecrated home.
