Bless This House Lyrics - Perry Como

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!
