The new "improved Mass translation - closer to the original
Latin (except when it's not) - someone used the same rules to translate "gather us in"

n this same place a new light is shining,
Darknesses now disappear away,
See all our fears and all of our sleepings
Open to you on this brought to light day.

Congregate us, the lost and the relict,
Congregate us, the blind and the lame,
Call upon us and we shall be wakened,
We shall rise up when sounded is our name.

Young of whom lives are secretly hidden,
Old people who keep badg’ring you
We shall be sung through all of the hist’ry
Lights of the world is what we’ll be called.

Congregate us, the rich and the boastful,
Congregate us who are the stiffnecked,
Give unto us a humble and meek heart
That boldly we may enter the song.
