A Psalm for a Departed Beloved
May the angels lead you into paradise
May the martyrs come to welcome you
And take you to the holy city
The new and eternal Jerusalem
The Lord is my light and my salvation
There is nothing at all I fear
The Lord is the refuge of my life
Of whom should I be afraid?
May the angels lead you into paradise
May the martyrs come to welcome you
And take you to the holy city
The new and eternal Jerusalem
One thing I ask of the Lord
There is only one thing I seek
To dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life
May the angels lead you into paradise
May the martyrs come to welcome you
And take you to the holy city
The new and eternal Jerusalem
For God will hide me in His house
And conceal me in the shelter of His tent
Even now my head is held high
Over those who would see me fall
May the angels lead you into paradise
May the martyrs come to welcome you
And take you to the holy city
The new and eternal Jerusalem
