From al deceite of our en'my.
Let neither us deluded be,
Good Lorde, with dreame or phantasy,
Oure hearte wakyng in Thee Thou kepe,
That we in Sinne fal not on Slepe.
O Father, through Thy blessed Sonne,
Grant us this our peticion,
To whom with the Holy Ghost alwaies,
In heav'n and yearth be laude and praise.

In paradisum

In paradisum deducant angeli,
in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres
et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem.
Chorus angelorum te suscipiat,
et cum Lazaro, quondam paupere,
aeternam habeas requiem.

May angels lead thee to paradise,
at thy coming may the martyrs receive thee
and bring thee into the holy city of Jerusalem.
May the choir of angels receive thee,
and with Lazarus, once a beggar,
mayst thou have eternal rest.

Bring Us, O Lord God
03:36

Bring us, O Lord God, at our last awakening
into the house and gate of heav’n
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.
