Looking for the lyrics to "happy the home"

What I can remember is:

Happy the home when God is there
And love fills every breath,
.....Lord let us in our homes agree
this blessed peace to gain...

Its choppy in my memory, but I've always loved this song and would be grateful to get the words correct again.

Thanks.

445. Happy the Home When God Is There
Text: Henry Ware, Jr., 1794-1843
Music: John B. Dykes, 1823-1876
Tune: ST. AGNES, Meter: CM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Happy the home when God is there,
and love fills every breast;
when one their wish, and one their prayer,
and one their heavenly rest.

2. Happy the home where Jesus' name
is sweet to every ear;
where children early speak his fame,
and parents hold him dear.

3. Happy the home where prayer is heard,
and praise is wont to rise;
where parents love the sacred Word
and all its wisdom prize.

4. Lord, let us in our homes agree
this blessed peace to gain;
unite our hearts in love to thee,
and love to all will reign.
