How shall the living pray for peace at death? One splendid way is with John Henry Cardinal Newman's poem, especially Nestor's elegant music. Leo Nestor sets the poetry with clarity and expressive meaning, adding a poignant touch by restating quietly the opening statement at the end so that the prayer for peace contains the soft murmer of"May Christ support us".
