Lyrics

Bless This House

Verse One:
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

Verse Two:
Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God’s Heavenly 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!
