Thanks to “jessicafischerqueen” for providing us with this, Requieum: In Paradisum, by Gabriel Faure.
Composed for use in the Catholic funeral mass between 1887 and 1890, Faure continued to revise it, finishing at last in 1900. He intended it to console the bereaved with a sense of eternal rest in Paradise.

Very beautiful. Colossians 3:1 “… set your heart on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.”
