Full Lyrics
Verse 1
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 chimney tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless the 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 ablazing there, with smoke ascending like a pray'r;
Bless the folks 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.
Verse 2
Bless this Union, Lord we pray, Secure it by night and day;
Bless the man with strength and grace, Keep him wise to lead their path;
Bless the wife with love and luck, May she be their light in dark;
Bless their Home that it may prove, ever open to joy and love.
Bless these people here who've come, Let them radiate forth your light;
Bless our hearts as we sit here, with good desires we so seek;
Bless all people of goodwill, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless this man who's found his wife, Bless the wife who's found her man,
Bless their union Lord we pray and dwell, always with them.
