LUIIb. The Song of Simeon upon taking the Child JESUS into his Arms in the Temple

1 Lord, let me now depart in peace,
who have thy waiting servant been,
According to thy word! for now
30 Mine eyes have thy salvation seen!
31 Which Thou hast wondrously prepar'd,
And shown before all people's face;
32 A light to all the Gentile world,
The glory of thine Isr'els race!
