watching, waiting cease;
Master, grant your servant
his discharge in peace.
2 All the Spirit promised,
all the Father willed,
now these eyes behold it
perfectly fulfilled.
3 This your great deliverance
sets your people free;
Christ their light uplifted
all the nations see.

Watching, doubting cease:
grant to us your servants
our discharge in peace. Topics: General Liturgical Section; Epiphany IV Year C; Candelmas Used With Tune: PASTOR PASTORUM (GOTT EIN VATER)
