1 LORD, let thy Servant now depart
Into thy promis'd Rest;
Since my expecting Eyes have been
With thy Salvation bless'd;
Which, till the Time thy favour'd Saints,
And Prophets, only knew,
Long since prepar'd, but now set forth
In all the Peoples View.
2 A Light, to shew the Heathen World
The Way to saving Grace,
Also the Light and Glory both
Of Isr'el's chosen Race.
To FATHER, SON and HOLY GHOST,
The GOD, whom we adore,
Be Glory, as it was, is now,
And shall be ever more.
