Lyrics:

Bring us, O Lord God, 
at our last awakening into the house and gate of heaven 
to enter into 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 habitation of thy glory and dominion, world without end. Amen.

The sure provisions of my God
Attend me all my days;
O may Thy house be mine abode,
And all my work be praise!
There would I find a settled rest,
While others go and come;
No more a stranger, nor a guest,
But like a child at home.
