Original text and translations
English text
Bring us, O Lord God, at our last awakening
into the house and gate of Heaven:
to enter into that gate
and dwell in that house,
where there shall be no darkness nor dazzling,
but one equal light;
no noise nor silence,
but one equal music;
no fears nor hopes,
but one equal possession;
no ends nor beginnings,
but one equal eternity;
in the habitations of thy Majesty and Glory,
world without end. Amen.
