295. Song of Simeon

1 Now may your servant, Lord,
according to your Word,
depart in exultation.
My peace shall be serene,
for now my eyes have seen
your wonderful salvation.

2 O Lord, you did prepare
for people ev'rywhere
a Light for revelation,
and radiant glory shall
the gloom of death dispel
for Israel, your nation.
