Song of Farewell
================
w&m: Ernest Sands, 1990

[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.

[Verse 1]
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]

[Verse 2]
There is one thing I ask of the Lord;
that he grant me my heartfelt desire:
to dwell in the courts of our God
ev'ry day of my life in his presence.

[Refrain]

[Verse 3]
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]

[Verse 4]
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]
