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 folk 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
