祝福這房子 Bless this house

九月颱,沒人知
中秋前後颱風接連襲台
幾天風雨過後
天空恢復清朗
黃昏時金黃色的夕陽照著
山谷裡的家園
寧靜、祥和
祝福這房子
以它堅強的四壁和屋頂
擋住下一場即將來臨的
風風雨雨
附記:Bless this house 為May Brahe 和Helen Taylor所作的詞和曲,John McCormack作小修改及初次演唱。這是一首少數看見歌詠房子的歌曲,詞曲都美。歌詞如下:
Bless This House Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.
