Thanks to John S, Julie Bodem, Christine, Danielle Marie, Kaytlyn T for correcting these lyrics. If you use this resource and would like to help with the cost of its continuing development, then donations are always peace and blessings! In Christianity, blessing a home is an ancient tradition, that can be found in Protestantism, Orthodox Christianity, and Roman Catholicism.
Many Christians when moving into a new home, or after renovating an old one, like to offer the house to God, and ask for a blessing on those who live within it, or might visit. Below you’ll find a couple of new ones I have written and a collection of older and more traditional blessings, mostly of Celtic origin. Bless this house, your peace impart. God uphold you day and night. May Brigid bless the house where in you dwell.
Bless every fireside every wall and door. Bless every heart that beats beneath its roof. Bless every hand that toils to bring it joy. Bless every foot that walks its portals through. May Brigid bless the house that shelters you. Bless this house, o Lord, we pray.
