"Bless This House" 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 overall

Bless this door that it may be
Ever open to joy and love
Bless these windows shining bright
Letting in God's heavenly light
Bless the hearth, a-blazing there
With smoke ascending like a prayer, ooh, ooh
Ah ooh

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
May dwell O Lord with thee
