Lyrics Bless This House - John McCormack

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 .. .
Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God′s Heavenly light,
Bless the hearth, ablazing there,
With smoke ascending like a prayer!
Bless the people here 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!
