House Blessing by Marek
The name of the song says it all. The origins of the song though are unclear. It is said that this song was originally a traditional Irish poem/prayer. An arrangement of this poem was attributed to Arthur Guiterman - published in 1948. My copy of the song in its two part arrangement simply states, "arranged by D.W."

Lyrics
Bless the four corners of this house and be the lintel blessed
And bless the hearth and bless the board and bless each place of rest,
And bless the door that opens wide to stranger as to kin,
And bless each crystal window pane that lets the starlight in,
And bless the roof-tree overhead and every sturdy wall,
Bring peace for all, the Peace of God, the peace of love on all.
