Light of the Gentile nations

Author: Johann Franck; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #51 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Light of the Gentile nations, Thy people’s Joy and Love! Drawn by Thy Spirit hither, We gladly come to prove Thy presence in Thy temple, And wait with earnest mind, As Simeon once had waited His Saviour God to find. 2 O Lord, Thy servants meet Thee, E’en now, in every place, Where Thy true Word hath promised, That they should see Thy face. Thou yet wilt gently grant us, Who gather round Thee here, In faith’s strong arms to bear Thee, As once that agèd seer. 3 Be Thou our Joy, our Brightness, That shines ’mid pain and loss, Our sun in times of terror, The glory round our cross; A glow in sinking spirits, A sunbeam in distress, Physician, Friend in sickness; In death our happiness. 4 Let us, O Lord, be faithful With Simeon, to the end, That so his dying song may From all our hearts ascend: "O Lord, now let Thy servant Depart in peace for aye, Since I have seen my Saviour, Have here beheld His day." 5 My Saviour, I behold Thee Now with the eye of faith; No foe of Thee can rob me, Though bitter words he saith. Within Thy heart abiding, As Thou dost dwell in me, No pain, no death has terrors To part my soul from Thee. Amen.

Today you still allow us Who gather round you here In arms of faith to hold you As did that aged seer. 3 Lord, when life's troubles touch us, You seem to hide your face, And through our tears we often Can scarcely sense your grace. Then be our joy and brightness, Our cheer in pain and loss, Our sun in darkest terror, The glory round our cross. 4 Let us, O Lord, be faithful Like Simeon to the end So that his prayer exultant May from our hearts ascend: "O Lord, now let your servant Depart in peace, I pray, Since I have seen my Savior And here beheld his day."
