Simeon's Thanksgiving.
Let Thy servant now depart;
Every doubt and fear is stilled,
For Thy peace hath warmed his heart,
And Thy promise is fulfilled.
Every doubt and fear is stilled,
For Thy peace hath warmed his heart,
And Thy promise is fulfilled.
Now his aged eyes have seen
Thy salvation, gracious Lord!
Joy around, and peace within,
And redemption through Thy word.
Thy salvation, gracious Lord!
Joy around, and peace within,
And redemption through Thy word.
105
He is come—a light to shine
Over all on earth who dwell;
And, with glory all divine,
To encircle Israel.
Over all on earth who dwell;
And, with glory all divine,
To encircle Israel.
