LITANY OF THE FOUR LAST THINGS.

HELL.

From the awful place of doom, Where in rayless outer gloom Dead souls lie as in a tomb, Save us, Holy JESU.

From the black, the dull despair Ruined men and angels share, From the dread companions there, Save us, Holy JESU.

From the unknown agonies Of the soul that helpless lies, From the worm that never dies, Save us, Holy JESU.

From the lusts that none can tame, From the fierce mysterious flame, From the everlasting shame,

Save us, Holy JESU.

HEAVEN.

Where Thy Saints in glory reign, Free from sorrow, free from pain, Pure from every guilty stain, Bring us, Holy JESU.

Where the captives find release, Where all foes from troubling cease, Where the weary rest in peace, Bring us, Holy JESU.

Where the pleasures never cloy, Where in Angels' holy joy Thy redeemed their powers employ, Bring us, Holy JESU.

Where in wondrous light are shown All Thy dealings with Thine own, Who shall know as they are known, Bring us, Holy JESU.

Where, with loved ones gone before, We may love Thee and adore In Thy Presence evermore, Bring us, Holy JESU. ( 330)

Amen.
