May the angels be your guide, 
may they lead you into paradise, 
and take you home 
to the new Jerusalem. 

Verses
Verse 1
There is one thing I ask of God;
 for this I long, for this I hope: 
to dwell in the house of God
every day of my life. 

Verse 2
When I cry out, hear my voice. 
Have mercy, Lord, and answer me. 
Do not cast me away in anger, 
for you are my help. 

Verse 3
I shall see God’s goodness, 
forever dwell with the living. 
Hope in God, and take heart; 
place your trust in the Lord.
