Browsing my copy of Medieval English Verse (Penguin), I discovered another verse, previously unknown to me, of Of on that is so fayre and bright.
This verse is translated by Brian Stone (his translation of the other verses differs from the version I posted here, but I prefer the version I have quoted, source forgotten...)

That he has brought us all to bliss
Superni
And shut for ever the foul abyss
Inferni.
Liturgy for When You were Pleased a Meeting was Delayed but Now you've

attend after all

2 For every meeting delayed is another meeting where the world might end
first.
