Bless This House
Bless this house, O Lord, we pray
Make it safe by night and day
Bless these walls so firm and stout
Keeping want and troubles out
Bless the roof and chimney top
Let thy love flow all about
Bless this house that it may prove
Ever open to joy and truth
Bless us all that we may be
Fit, O Lord, to dwell with thee
Bless us so that one day we
May dwell, dear Lord, with thee
