The Hymnal ‎#A59

A59. Lord, Now Lettest Thou Thy Servant

1 Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace:
according to Thy word.

2 For mine eyes have seen:
Thy salvation,

3 Which Thou hast preparèd:
before the face of all people;

4 To be a light to lighten the Gentiles:
and to be the glory of Thy people Israel.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son:
and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be:
world without end, Amen.
