The young miss is older, so this home blessing doesn’t get the mileage it once did.

Another one is here. But don’t forget the singing.

I like this dialogue from it:

ONE: Peace be to this house!

ALL: And to all who live here!

More detailed rubrics on the actual inscription, plus Psalm 72 here.

Most importantly: don’t forget the singing. Maybe something of the American tradition, very nicely rendered here. Or something a bit older, like here.
