[Verse 1]
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.

[Verse 2]
Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth ablazing there,
With smoke ascending like a pray'r;
Bless the folk who dwell within,
Keep them pure and safe 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.
