Let Thy servant now depart;
Every doubt and fear is stilled,
For Thy peace hath warmed his heart,
And Thy promise is fulfilled.
Now his aged eyes have seen
Thy salvation, gracious Lord!
Joy around, and peace within,
And redemption through Thy word.
He is come—a light to shine
Over all on earth who dwell;
And, with glory all divine,
To encircle Israel.
(John Bowring)
