Hearts Drawn Together At GOD'S Feet

Family devotions
(J.R. Miller)

Hearts that are drawn together at GOD'S 
feet every day in family devotions--
cannot drift very far away from each other. 

The domestic frictions of the day are forgotten--
when all voices mingle in the same heavenly 
song. As the tender words of Scripture fall 
with their gracious counsels--
all feeling of unkindness melts away. 

The family altar in the midst--
wondrously hallows and sweetens 
the whole home. Besides, the family altar . . .
  puts new strength into every heart,
  comforts all sorrows,
  is a shield against temptation,
  smoothes out the wrinkles of care,
  inspires strength for burden-bearing,
  quickens every holy sentiment, 
and keeps the fires of devotion 
burning on every heart's altar.
