1. Oh, blest the house, whate’er befall,
where Jesus Christ is all in all!
For if he were not dwelling there,
how dark and poor and void it were!
2. Oh, blest that house where faith is found,
and all in charity abound
to trust their God and serve him still,
and do in all his holy will!
3. Oh, blest that house; it prospers well!
In peace and joy the parents dwell,
and in their children’s lives is shown
how richly God can bless his own.
4. Then here will I and mine today
a solemn cov’nant make and say:
though all the world forsake his Word,
my house and I will serve the Lord.
OH, BLEST THE HOUSE
