Bless this house as we come and go.


Bless this house, O' Lord we pray,
make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls, so firm and stout,
keep want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimney tall,
let thy peace lie over all.
Bless the door that it may prove
ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows, shining bright,
letting in God's heavenly light;
Bless the folk who dwell within,
keep them pure and free from sin.
- an Irish House Blessing
Bless this house as we come and go.
Bless our home as the children grow.
Bless our family when they gather in.
Bless this house with love and friends.
- Traditional House Blessing
May you always be blessed;
with walls for the wind,
a roof for the rain,
a warm cup of tea by the fire,
laughter to cheer you,
those you love near you
and all that your heart might desire.
- Old Gaelic blessing
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
May He look upon you with kindness, and give you His peace.
May almighty God bless you - in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- Catholic Blessing
