1.
Father, within your house today,
We wait your kindly love to see:
Since you have said in truth one day;
Who dwell in love are one with me,
Bless those who for your blessing wait;
Their love accept and consecrate.
2.
Dear Lord of love, whose heart of fire,
So full of pity for our sin,
Was once in that divine desire,
Broken, your Bride to woo and win.
Look down and bless them from above,
And keep their hearts alight with love.
3.
Blest Spirit, who with life and light,
Did quicken chaos to your praise,
Whose energy, in sin’s despite,
Still lifts our nature up to grace,
Bless those who here in truth consent:
Creator, crown your sacrament.
4.
Great one in three, of whom are named;
All families on earth and heaven,
Hear us, who have your promise claimed,
And let a wealth of grace be given,
Grant them in life and death to be,
Each knit to each, for all to see.
Father Within Your House Today Lyrics
