See you there

Christ, the true light of us, true morn,
Dispersing far the shades of night,
Light wehereof every light is born,
Pledge of the beatific light,

Though all the night our guardian be
Whose watch no sleep or slumber knows;
Thou be our peace, that stayed on thee
Through darkness we may find repose.

Sleep then our eyes, but never sleep
The watchful heaven-directed heart,
And may thy hand in safety keep
The servants whose desire thou art.

Look on us, thou, and at our side
Our foes and thine repulse afar;
Through every ill the faitful guide
Who in thy blood redeemed are.

While soul within the body clings,
Body and soul defend us, Lord,
Sure in the shadow of thy wings,
Kept in thy lasting watch and ward.

* Accompany Lord, your daughter Primitiva to the gate of Heaven and may your everlasting light shine upon her. Grant that one day, we soon be reunited with her and with all our loved ones who have left before us in this world. Salamat ate Emma sa mga iniwan mo saming ala-ala. Wala na akong ipaparang tri-cycle pag-uwi mo galing sa amin :(
