Bless This House - Original Mono - Mahalia Jackson

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
