1 Faithful vigil ended,
watching, waiting cease;
"Master, grant thy servant
his discharge in peace."

2 All thy Spirit promised,
all the Father willed,
now these eyes beheld it
perfectly fulfilled.

3 This thy great deliv'rance
sets thy people free;
Christ their light uplifted
all the nations see.

4 Christ, thy people's glory!
Watching, doubting cease;
grant to us thy servants
their discharge in peace.
