God, Give Us Christian Homes

"God, Give Us Christian Homes" is a heartfelt prayer for the family. Written by B. B. Mckinney, this hymn asks for the grace to build households rooted in faith, where the scriptures are taught and the Lord is welcomed as an honored guest. It speaks directly to the everyday reality of family life, lifting up fathers, mothers, and children in separate, dedicated verses.

In our parishes, choirs often bring this piece out for Family Harvests, Mothering Sunday, or Father's Day celebrations. The steady, traditional hymn progression makes it easy for the congregation to reflect on the words as they sing. Raising this song feels like a collective intercession for the community, reminding everyone in the pews that a strong, faithful church begins with strong, faithful homes.
