Full 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 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 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.
