This is a communion procession for the Mass of Christian Burial, also appropriate for Memorial Masses and the Feast of All Souls. The assembly sings a plainsong antiphon, and the verses from psalm 121 are set for cantor and/or SATB voices. There is an optional descant, set in Latin, and C instrument part. The music has a tranquil quality that helps us express in song our hopes and prayers for the dead. Part of C Instrument and Congregational page included.
