Harris, William: Bring us, O Lord God


Bring us, O Lord God (1959)

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 on 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.

Words: John Donne (1572–1631)
Music: William Harris (1883–1973)
