The Song of Simeon

William Helder, 1979 ©

1. O Lord and Master, Thou
   Dost let Thy servant now
   Depart in exultation;
   Thy promise is fulfilled,
   For now have I beheld
   Thy wonderful salvation:
   
2. Thou didst, O Lord, prepare
   For peoples everywhere
   A light for revelation,
   And radiant glory shall
   The gloom of death dispel
   For Israel, Thy nation.
