† 성부와 성자와 성령의 이름으로 아멘.

"Faithful Servant of the Light" is an original tribute song to 

Pope Francis on the occasion of his peaceful passing from this world to the heavenly Father.  

It captures who he was in his earthly ministry as the Pope of the Catholic Church 

and as an example of the beauty of human goodness that lies within the human heart.

-Music and Lyrics: 

Fr. Reymund Quito,  SMQA

Lyrics

"Faithful Servant of the Light"

You came not with a crown or throne,

But as a father, kind and known.

You walked with hearts the world ignored,

And gently showed the face of the Lord.

You preached the truth, yet clothed in grace,

Defending every nameless face.

You called us out to love the poor,

To open wide the Gospel door.

(Chorus)

Faithful servant of the light,

You led the Church through darkest night.

You raised the low, you gave them voice,

And made the broken heart rejoice.

You showed us Christ in every land—

With open heart, with outstretched hand.

You dared to dream a Church that heals,

That listens deep, that feels what feels.

A Church of mercy, bold and free,

Where truth and love walk equally.

[Bridge]

Now heaven sings your gentle name,

The earth recalls your steady flame.

The journey ends, the seeds remain—

In every soul you helped sustain.

[Final Chorus]

Faithful servant of the light,

Now rest in God’s eternal sight.

Your voice still speaks in every cry,

Of those who hunger, hurt, or sigh.

O Pope of peace, your mission done—

Well done, well loved, beloved one.
