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.
