Bless this House, O Lord we pray Make it safe by night and day Blessthese walls so firm and stout Keeping want and trouble out Bless the roof and chimney 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 heavenly light Bless the hearth, the painting there With smoke ascending like a prayer Bless the folk who dwell within Keep them pure and free from sin Bless 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
