This song of farewell accompanies the incensing of the body. 

​

"The song of farewell, which should affirm hope and trust in the Paschal mystery, is the climax of the rite of final commendation. It should be sung to a melody simple enough for all to sing. It may take the form of a responsorial or even a hymn." (from Sing to the Lord: Music in Divine Worship, USCCB, 2007)
