Bring us, O Lord our God,
at our last awakening
into the house and gate of heaven,
to enter that gate
and dwell in that house,
where there shall be
no darkness nor dazzling,
but one equal light;
no noise or 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 your glory and dominion,
world without end.
— John Donne
