Lyrics:
May the choir of angels,
Come to greet you.
May they speed you to paradise.
May the Lord enfold you
In His mercy.
May you find eternal life

The Lord is my light and my help;
It is He who protects me from harm
The Lord is the strength of my days;
Before whom should I tremble with fear?

May the choir of angels,
Come to greet you.
May they speed you to paradise.
May the Lord enfold you
In His mercy.
May you find eternal life

There is one the I ask of the Lord;
That He grant me my heartfelt desire.
To dwell in the courts of our God
Everyday of my life in His presence

May the choir of angels,
Come to greet you.
May they speed you to paradise.
May the Lord enfold you
In His mercy.
May you find eternal life

O Lord, hear my voice when I cry;
Have mercy on me and give answer.
Do not cast me away in Your anger;
For You are the God of my help

Went to say goodbye to a friends daughter yesterday, she was only 24 and had needed 24 hour care all her short life. This was played at the funeral, I had never heard it before and now I can't get it out of my head. I hope the angels were there to greet you Katie xx.

I dedicate this song in memory of my younger brother Joefran who passed away suddenly last year. Missed you so much. May you find eternal life. Amen.

[OngLiyujune-pe]

I love this song- overcome sadness and grief of the loss of the one you love deeply.

[margaritaferns]

Heard this last week when a priest sang it for his mum as he blessed it for the final time. Joined by all his fellow priests. It's been in my head everyday and now even more that Pope Francis is ill.

My husband of 53 years died on 10th January. His children and special granddaughter miss him so much. I prayed over him as he slipped away with my hand on his head the other on his chest

[jameswest]

I find it difficult to sing this without getting emotional. As a canter, I need to keep it together but this hymn is lovely. The melody and lyrics.

[keithhillman]

The most beautiful farewell . I found this on the internet 1 week ago and have arranged to have a soloist sing it at my husband's Celebration of Life, middle of April 2022
The words brought me to tears, God led me to this wonderful hymn.
