Prelude: Pauwi Na

by Rev. Manoling V. Francisco, SJ

They go homeward to your dwelling place, to You. May they now look on your face, our loved ones keep in your embrace Though we sorrow and grieve, even now they make their way. With angel guides at their sides, reaching for your gentle hand.

Our sadness you diminish. Bitterness like a wound you heal. From our loved ones we are parted, and yet your love, that too can bridge Faults and lapses, forgive them all. Grace and goodness, do not forget. From mortal death deliver them. Their lives now yours to fulfill

Translation from the Spanish:

Vs. 1: And death now, vanished is the fear now, Banished are my tears now, death has passed away.

Vs. 2 The kingdom, praise to God, the kingdom! Raised up to the kingdom, we shall live in love.

Vs. 3 Our gladness, belssful in our gladness,

This will be our gladness, that he is alive.

Vs. 4 With him then, die and live with him then, Rise and sing our hymn then, sing alleluia.
