Haus Segen (House Blessing)

Translation
Spiritual House Blessing.
Jesus, live in my house, leave it nevermore. Stay therein with your mercy, because otherwise I will be abandoned. Oh, you great man of blessing! Come with your blessings, give that peace, luck and safety are granted to my house. Just as rich blessings overcame Job and Abraham: so shower over me your blessings charitably. Jesus, live in my heart when I suffer from fear and pain, when fear and need press me, so help me, oh faithful God! When I have no more riches, the gift of Heaven remains with me: If I already suffer from sorrow here, heavenly joy remains with me still.
