A Prayer for Your Home

God bless the corners of this house,
And be the lintel blest;
And bless the hearth and bless the board|
And bless each place of rest;
And bless each door that opens wide
To stranger as to kin;
And bless each crystal window pane
That lets the starlight in;
And bless the rooftree overhead
And every sturdy wall,
The peace of man, the peace of God,
The peace of love on all.
