O Give Us Homes Built Firm Upon The Saviour,
Where Christ Is Head, And Counsellor And Guide;
Where Ev’ry Child Is Taught His Love And Favor
And Gives His Heart To Christ, The Crucified:
How Sweet To Know That Tho’ His Footsteps Waver
His Faithful Lord Is Walking By His Side!
O Give Us Homes With Godly Fathers, Mothers,
Who Always Place Their Hope And Trust In Him;
Whose Tender Patience Turmoil Never Bothers,
Whose Calm And Courage Trouble Cannot Dim;
A Home Where Each Finds Joy In Serving Others,
And Love Still Shines, Tho’ Days Be Dark And Grim.
O Give Us Homes Where Christ Is Lord And Master,
The Bible Read, The Precious Hymns Still Sung;
Where Prayer Comes First In Peace Or In Disaster,
And Praise Is Natural Speech To Ev’ry Tongue;
Where Mountains Move Before A Faith That’s Vaster,
And Christ Sufficient Is For Old And Young.
O Lord, Our God, Our Homes Are Thine Forever!
We Trust To Thee Their Problems, Toil, And Care;
Their Bonds Of Love No Enemy Can Sever
If Thou Art Always Lord And Master There:
Be Thou The Center Of Our Least Endeavor:
Be Thou Our Guest, Our Hearts And Homes To Share.
A Christian Home by Barbara B. Hart
I recently came across you fellows on the YouTube channel while browsing for good Christian music. For the past several years now, three of us church members offer our limited talents in a local nursing home. It’s actually an assisted living facility in the memory care unit.
Because of today’s technology, we connect a laptop computer to a widescreen monitor and a Bose speaker, which allows us to present a variety of musical programs. It’s our small way of sharing the Gospel message without preaching from the pulpit. We call our ministry “Music from the Heart.”
Today we introduced the sounds of the Living Stones Quartet to our audience (the residents who’ve become our dear friends now). With the lyrics shown on the screen, everyone can sing along and enjoy your incredible harmony.
The participation today was amazing, as we presented seven of your beautiful selections.
Although all of your pieces are impressive, two of them clearly picked up the pace to a new level: “Lily of the Valley” and “Send the Light.” Another one worth mentioning was the 70th birthday commemoration of your founder, Brother George Cherian.
We intend to present more of your remarkable works as we move forward with our ministry.
By the way, your website is very interesting and very informative! May God continue to bless you all!
