Set my house upon a rock,
A solid place of peace.
Give me all your guarding angels,
Set them to watch over me.
Stir my heart with a noble theme,
As I write music by the fire,
Hold me close in your gentle arms,
And give me rest when I retire.
Set your creatures all around,
And fill the earth with flowers.
Let the harp play undisturbed,
For long and youthful hours.
Set the roots of the oldest trees,
As deep as they are tall.
Hear my prayers fall sweet upon the earth,
Seeds of grace for all.
Fill the store with wine and honey,
Let your harvest never cease.
Let the taps overflow,
And set the table for the feast!
Lord of my desires,
My heart’s one true companion.
Fill my house of peace with love,
My God is ever welcome.
