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."
