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
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 Explain Request ×
