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 overall. bless this door that it may prove

ever open to joy and love. bless these windows shining bright

letting in god's heavenly light. bless the hearth ablazing there

with smoke ascending like a prayer!

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!
