REFRAIN
A                          D                  
O what Joy beyond all telling
A                                           E
 To know that you are near
A                                         D.        
With the saints and angels coming
A                                        E                   A   
To bring us home  is ever more clear
      A                           D
1 ) You are coming we awaiting
A                                           E
Caring our cross everyday
A                              D     
Doing your will and praying
A                                        E        A
Following your Holy Spirit's sway
REFRAIN

2 )Praise the Savior now and  ever;
A                                                    E
Praise him, all beneath the skies;
A                             D                
Prostrate lying, suff’ring, dying
A                                  E.      A 
On the cross,  our  sacrifice  

3 ) Vict’ry gaining, life obtaining,
Now in glory he does rise.  
And with him we also rise
To the glory of God  our Father



4 )Man’s work failing, Christ’s availing;
He is all our righteousness.
He, our Savior, has forever

Set us free from dire distress.
Through his merit, we inherit
Light, peace, and happiness.

REFRAIN
5 ) Sin’s bonds severed, we’re delivered,
Christ has bruised the serpent’s head;
Death no longer is the stronger,
Hell itself is captive-led.
Christ has risen from death’s prison,
O’er the tomb his light he shed.

6 ) For His favor, praise forever,
Unto God the Father sing;
Praise the Savior, praise him ever,
Son of God, our Lord and King.

7 )Praise the Spirit, through Christ’s merit,
For he does salvation bring.
With  all the saints and angels
 Your highest praises we’ll forever sing
REFRAIN

enlightment my heart

Such a good voice singing the song.
Help me to enlighten my heart at the moment.

After the Lord's prayer

After the Lord's prayer in the mass (second Eucharistic prayer), the priest says the following
prayer: 
         Deliver us, Lord, from every evil, and grant us peace in our day. In your mercy keep us free from sin and protect us from all anxiety as we wait in joyful hope for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ! 
This reminds us of the evil and sin that surrounds us and tempts us from within, while at the same time reminds us to have joyful hope in the Lord's divine promise of his eager return to bring us home to live forever with him, the Father. and the Holy Spirit, and all the angels and saints in divine JOY!
