Paroles

Angel
Softly and gently, dearly ransomed soul,
In my most loving arms I now enfold thee,
And o'er the penal waters, as they roll,
I poise thee, and I lower thee, and hold thee.
And carefully I dip thee in the lake,
And thou, without a sob or a resistance,
Dost through the flood thy rapid passage take,
Sinking deep, deeper, into the dim distance.
Angels, to whom the willing task is given,
Shall tend, and nurse, and lull thee, as thou liest
And Masses on the earth, and prayers in heaven,
Shall aid thee at the Throne of the Most Highest.
Farewell, but not for ever brother dear,
Be brave and patient on thy bed of sorrow
Swiftly shall pass thy night of trial here,
And I will come and wake thee on the morrow.
Souls
Lord, Thou hast been our refuge, etc.
Amen.
Choir of Angelicals
Praise to the Holiest, etc. Amen.
Written by: John Henry Newman, Sir Edward Elgar
