O Light of Gentile Nations

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878; Johann Franck, 1618-1677 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 37 hymnals First Line: O Light of Gentle nations Lyrics: 1 O Light of Gentile nations, O Savior from above, Drawn by your Spirit's leading, We come with joy and love To enter now your holy temple And wait with watchful mind, As Simeon once had waited His Savior God to find. 2 Yes, Lord, your servants meet you In ev'ry holy place Where your true Word has promised That we should see your face. And still today you grant us, Who gather round you here, In arms of faith to bear you, As did that aged seer. 3 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, Have here beheld his day."

In the help we give our neighbor, God's will is done. In our world-wide task of caring For the hungry and despairing, In the harvests we are sharing, God's will is done. 3 For the harvests of the Spirit, Thanks be to God. For the good we all inherit, Thanks be to God. For the wonders that astound us, For the truths that still confound us, Most of all, that love has found us, Thanks be to God.
