Notes: ~ This spiritual song from England has had popular recordings by Risë Stevens on Columbia, Eileen Farrell on Decca and Mahalia Jackson on Apollo. This song has been a perennial favourite of Mr. Como, which was recorded for his 1952 45RPM Extended Play album "Perry Como Sings His Favorite Songs of Worship" and later included within the 1956 expanded version of "I Believe" re-released in the 12" long play format. The same recording was re-released thirty years later within his 1982 Christmas compilation "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Forever" first on vinyl and then on compact disc. He performed "Bless this House" several times on his television specials but most memorably on his 1980 Christmas Special filmed in Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Galilee ( Christmas In the Holy Land ) with special guest Richard Chamberlain.
