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.
John Donne (1572-1631)
Dean of
St Paul's Cathedral
