Author: Ernest Edwin Ryden Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #590 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O Lord, now let Thy servant
Depart with heav'nly peace,
For I have seen the glory
Of Thy redeeming grace:
A Light to lead the Gentiles
Unto Thy holy hill,
The glory of Thy people,
Thy chosen Israel.
2 How blessèd is the vision
E'en here of Thy great love,
But still my spirit yearneth
To see Thy face above,
Where in Thy holy image
I, too, shall join the throng
Of ransomed souls in glory,
And sing the Lamb's new song.
3 Then grant that I may follow
Thy 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 blessèd Daystar,
Shall light them evermore.
Amen. Topics: Occasional Recessional; Names and Office of Christ Daystar Scripture: Luke 2:29-32 Languages: English Tune Title: LANCASHIRE
