Not as orphans are we left in sorrow now. Alleluia! You are near us; faith believes, nor questions how. Though the cloud from sight received you, when the forty days were o'er, shall our hearts forget your promise, "I am with you evermore." 3 Alleluia! Bread of angels, you on earth our food, our stay. Alleluia! Here the sinful flee to you from day to day. Intercessor, friend of sinners, earth's Redeemer, plead for me, and the songs that sound in heaven will repeat your gracious plea. 4 Alleluia! Christ eternal, nothing can disrupt your reign; Alleluia! Born of Mary, heaven and earth are your domain. Human life you fully entered, tending those we count the least, serving both as Priest and Victim in the eucharistic feast. Scripture: Hebrews 9:11-14 Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL

I know not, O I know not, What social joys are there, What radiancy of glory, What light beyond compare. 2 They stand, those halls of Sion, Conjubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng; The Prince is ever in them, The daylight is serene, The pastures of the blessèd Are decked in glorious sheen. 3 There is the throne of David, And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph, The shout of them that feast; And they who, with their Leader, Have conquered in the fight, For ever and for ever Are clad in robes of white. 4 O sweet and blessèd country, Shall I ever see thy face? O sweet and blessed country, Shall I ever win thy grace? Exult, O dust and ashes! The Lord shall be thy part: His only, his for ever, Thou shalt be, and thou art!
