       O  everlasting  kingdom,  kingdom  of  endless  ages,

       whereon rests the untroubled light and the peace of God,
       which  passeth  all  understanding,  where  the  soul  of  the
       saints are at rest, and everlasting joy is upon their heads,
       and  sorrow  and  sighing  have  fled  away!  Oh,  how
       glorious is the kingdom in which all thy saints reign with
       thee, O Lord, clothed with light as with a garment, and
       having  on  their  heads  a  crown  of  precious  stones!.  For
       there  is  infinite  unfading  joy,  gladness  without  sorrow,
       health  without  a  pang,  life  without  toil,  light  without
       darkness,  life  without  death;  there  the  vigour  of  age
       knows no decay, and beauty withers not, nor doth love
       grow  cold,  nor  joy  wane  away,  for  there  we  look
       evermore upon the face of the Lord God of hosts.

       O Christ, our refuge and strength,  thou hope of human

                 www.oremusapostolate.com
       kind, whose light shineth from afar upon the dark clouds
       which  hang  around  us;  behold,  thy  redeemed  ones  cry
       unto thee, thy banished ones whom thou hast redeemed
       with  thine  own  most  precious  Blood.    Hear  us,  O  God
       our Saviour, thou who art the hope of all the ends of the
       earth and of those that are afar off on the wide sea. We
       are  tossed  about  on  the  wild  and  stormy  waves  in  the
       dark  night;  and  thou  standing  on  the  eternal  shore,
       beholdest our peril: save us for thy Name’s sake. Guide
       us  amongst  the  shoals  and  quicksands  which  beset  all


       we would be.  Amen.
         our course, and so bring us in safely to the heaven where
