Bring us, o Lord God, at our last awakening

Language: English

Our translations: ITA

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 or hopes, but one equal possession;
no ends or beginnings, but one equal eternity, 
in the habitations of thy glory and dominion, 
world without end.

Portaci con Te, Signore, quando infine saremo destati

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the English

Portaci con Te, Signore, quando infine saremo destati,
per le sue porte, nella dimora celeste,
noi le attraverseremo e abiteremo in quel luogo
dove non ci sarà tenebra o raggio feroce, ma una luce costante;
non frastuono o silenzio, ma una musica costante;
non paure o speranze, ma un costante possesso;
non fine o principio, ma una costante eternità;
verso quel mondo dove Tu regni in gloria,
che non avrà mai fine.
