Verse 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 Gentiles
Unto your holy hill,
The glory of Your people,
Your chosen Israel.
Verse 2:
Then grant that I may follow
Your gleam, O glorious Light,
Till earthly shadows scatter,
And faith is changed to sight;
Till raptured saints shall gather
Upon that shining shore,
Where Christ, the blessed Daystar,
Shall light them evermore.
