"Like a child at home"

The final verse of Isaac Watts' paraphrase of Psalm 23, "My Shepherd Will Supply My Need":

The sure provisions of my God
Attend me all my days;
O may Thy house be my abode,
And all my work be praise.

While others go and come;
No more a stranger, nor a guest,
But like a child at home.

I like their choices. If you missed the "Ten Worst" list, it is here.
