Bless This House

Bless this house O Lord we pray;

Make it safe by night and day;

Bless these walls so firm and stout,

Keeping want and trouble out:

Bless the roof and chimneys tall,

Let thy peace lie over all;

Bless this door, that it may prove

Ever open to joy and love.

Bless these windows shining bright,

Letting in God's heav’nly light;

Bless the hearth a’blazing there,

With smoke ascending like a prayer;

Bless the folk who dwell within,

Keep them pure and free from sin;

Bless us all that we may be

Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;

Bless us all that one day we

May dwell O Lord with thee.
