Bless This House
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, the painting there,
With smoke ascending like a prayer!
Bless the folk who dwell within,
Keep them pure and free from sin . . .
Bless us all that we may be,
Fit O Lord to dwell with thee . . .

What a great house. And that's a tin roof, isn't it? I've always wanted to spend a rainy night in a house with a tin roof.

Thanks for the wonderful picture. It is GREAT to sleep under a tin roof when it is raining. The rain makes a lovely sound. I found your pictures as I was searching for some words to say at a house warming tonight, and the words of the hymn "Bless This House" were first on my list.
Bless you!
