1.

O what a blessed home I’ve found
Where joy and peace abound,
And Jesus is my Brother here.
This fills my heart with cheer!
He calls me by my name with love
And guides in all things from above.
Yes, Jesus is my Brother here.
This fills my heart with cheer!

2.

What joy it gives me deep within:
I’m being cleansed from sin.
Each step upon life’s way is blest,
No more by sin oppressed.
I’m filled with praise and gladness, too,
That God is now my Father true.
Yes, Jesus is my Brother here.
This fills my heart with cheer!

3.

My heart is filled with joy and cheer!
I know that Christ is near;
From sin’s dark hosts He set me free.
He says, “Obedient be;
The voices from your flesh don’t heed,
For they to certain death will lead!”
Yes, Jesus is my Brother here.
This fills my heart with cheer!

4.

Let jub’lant songs to God abound
And thankful praise resound!
He loves each one who faithful stands
And follows His commands.
When other souls have gone to sleep
Because His Word they do not keep,
He blesses us abundantly!
Our Brother true is He!
