| Text: | O Lord, Now Let Your Servant |
| Author: | Ernest E. Ryden, 1886-1981 |
| Tune: | KUORTANE |
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
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 day-star,
shall light them evermore.
