May the Angels Lead You Home

This heartfelt song recounts the lessons and memories that our departed loved ones have left behind and serves as a reminder of the promise of eternal life. Its simple melody brings focus to the text and allows for prayerful participation from the assembly. The additional parts for cello, and two violins provide flexibility for various ensembles and are available from the publisher's website. This setting can be used for an extended procession and is especially effective when used with its companion piece, Song of Farewell (#11569289) for the final commendation.
