692. May choirs of angels lead you

1 My choirs of angels lead you
to paradise on high,
where dwell the white-robed martyrs
who now no more can die.

2 And at your coming thither
may you be brought by them
into the holy city,
God's true Jerusalem.

3 As angels gave poor Lazarus
from all his ills release,
so may they give you welcome
to everlasting peace.
