This is another funeral song and another version of the “Song of Farewell.”
This has a text by Delores Dufner and it is here set to RICHMOND.
The text is on page nine of this brochure, which has other good funeral song suggestions. They also use the tune AMAZING GRACE, which is probably better known and so better for participation.
Most sheet music I have seen put this song in G, as below, but CWB II brings it down to F (thanks be to God).

The hymn that Sister Delores Dufner uses with O Come to Meet Him Saint of God is LAND OF REST, not RICHMOND.
G’day Lou Anne
Thanks for the information. I suppose you could use any 8.6.8.6 tune, that’s the glory of a metrical text. Catholic Worship Book II in Australia chose a traditional English hymn tune over a traditional American hymn tune, albeit originally probably from Scotland. Maybe RICHMOND is used more frequently over here.
