The words of the original anthem are by Thomas Campion (who also made a musical setting of the words several centuries earlier)
Never weather-beaten sail more willing bent to shore,
Never tired pilgrims limbs affected slumber more,
Than my weary sprite now longs to fly out of my troubled breast:
O come quickly, sweetest Lord, and take my soul to rest.
Ever-living are the joys of Heavens high Paradise,
Cold age deafs not there our ears nor vapour dims our eyes:
Glory there the sun outshines, whose beams the blessed only see:
O come quickly, sweetest Lord, and raise my sprite to Thee!
