The Song of Simeon, Luke, 2. 29.

1

Now let thy Servant, Lord, depart
in Peace, to quiet Rest,
Since I have thy Salvation seen,
and with the same am blest:

2

The Prophecies are now fulfill'd,
thy Promises are true;
And thy Mysterious Love's disclos'd,
in all thy Peoples view.

3

A Light to lighten the Dark Earth,
now this bright Sun appears,

9

The Gentiles shall enlighten'd be,
sweet Comforts shall them cheer.

4

Well may the long expected Sight,
make Israel's Joy abound;
Before with special Favours Grac'd,
but now with Glory Crown'd.
