Filled with grace and glory, Living Ark. Borne toward the City of God, come to meet Jesus; He whom you received into your dwelling place. welcomes you now into the Father’s presence. The Church, rejoicing, celebrates your passing, Alleluia, alleluia! First among the redeemed, Victorious presence in the midst of strife! Mother of the Lord, humble and yet full of power, Your prayers are ever heard throughout the ages. Mary, source of our joy, You enter into the joy of God. –Days of the Lord
