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 overall . .
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, ablazing 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!
