Refrain:
May the choirs 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?
Refrain:
May the choirs 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 thing
I ask of the Lord;
That He grant me
my heartfelt desire.
To dwell in the courts of our God,
Evry day of my life
in His presence.
Refrain:
May the choirs 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.
Refrain:
May the choirs 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.
I am sure I shall see
the Lord's goodness;
I shall dwell
in the land of the living,
Hope in God,
stand firm and take heart,
Place all your trust in the Lord.
Refrain:
May the choirs 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.
