A Comforting Prayer for Everyone

This prayer with a picture of Jesus with his sacred heart, has been with me all my life, hanging over my crib from the earliest days. It's in storage now with my other things, but I recall it here for you, as I think everyone of every faith can love this prayer.

The House Blessing

God bless the corners of this house,
And be the lintel blessed.
And bless the hearth and bless the boards,
And bless each piece of rest.

And bless each door that opens wide,
To strangers and to kin.
And bless each crystal windowpane,
That lets the starlight in.

And bless the roof tree overhead,
And every sturdy wall.
The peace of Man, the peace of God,
The peace of love in all.
