Full Lyrics
[TENOR SOLO]
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.
[SOLO]
Bless these windows shining bright
letting in God's heav'nly light.
Bless this hearth ablazing there
with smoke ascending like a pray'r.
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.
[CHOIR A CAPELLA]
Bless the people here within
keep them pure and free from sin.
[CHOIR]
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.
