Bless This House lyrics

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 people here 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.
