God bless the Master
Language: English
God Bless the master of this house, with happiness beside Where'er his body rides or walks His God must be his guide His God must be his guide. God Bless the mistress of this house With gold chain on her breast Where'er her body sleeps or wakes, Lord send her soul to rest, Lord send her soul to rest. God Bless your house, your children too, Your cattle and your store, The Lord increase you day by day And send you more and more And send you more and more.
