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! |
