Author: Ernest E. Ryden, 1886-1981 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #313 (2006) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O Lord, now let your servant
depart in heav'nly peace,
for I have seen the glory
of your redeeming grace:
a light to lead the nations
unto your holy hill,
the glory of your people,
your chosen Israel.
2 Then grant that I may follow

till earthly shadows scatter,
and faith is changed to sight;
till raptured saints shall gather
upon that shining shore,
where Christ, the blessed day-star,
shall light them evermore. Topics: Funeral; Time After Epiphany; Commitment, Discipleship; Epiphany, Time After Epiphany; Evening; Funeral; Sending Languages: English Tune Title: KUORTANE
