Bless This House
by Perry Como

Album: I Wish It Could Be Christmas Forever

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!
