Blessed is then that house, where each with hearts so pure:
Dwells there the holy Word of God most high;
There is no fear of dark nor of death—
There God Himself will enter in most nigh.

Blessed is then that house, where live true pious prayer;
There Holy Spirit touches ev'ry heart with grace;
There joy and love, happiness abounding,
And blessings from our Father's smiling face.

Blessed is then that house, where agéd are esteeméd,
Where pious faith will pass from old unto the young.
So praise our God, read then His Scriptures,
And grow in grace and wisdom in each year to year.
