As evening shadows grow deep and long,
reaching across the bed,
mother and father hear childrens prayers,
now as they bow their heads,
bless this house
bless this house
and the souls within,
through the night til it's light again,
guide our hearts
through the dark
to the breaking day,
bless this house
bless this house
we pray
______________________
save me from bad dreams
if they should come,
raging into my heart,
keep us together one family,
nothing can tear apart,
bless this house
bless this house
and the souls within,
through the night til it's light again,
guide our hearts
through the dark
to the breaking day,
bless this house
bless this house
we pray
______________________________________
Give us arms to hold that are right and strong,
when the night goes on too long,
bring us a morning wide as the sea,
where love will be our ark,
standing together one family,
nothing can tear apart,
bless this house
bless this house
and the souls within,
through the night til it's light again,
guide our hearts
through the dark
to the breaking day,
bless this house
bless this house
we pray...."
