Hymn: Lord, Let Your Servant Now Go (Song of Simeon)

Lord, let Your servant now
Go with great peace and joy;
Your Word has been fulfilled and is a promise true;
Refrain
Lord, now let us, Let us depart with peace and joy, oh, Set us free!

My own eyes have now seen
Salvation here for me;
Prepared by You, Lord, in the sight of everyone;
Refrain

A light reveals You now
To all the world’s nations;
The glory of Your chosen people Israel;
Refrain

Praise to our Father God,
And glory to the Son,
And glory to the Spirit, Now and evermore;
Refrain
