Lyrics:
Now You let me go in peace (Simeon’s song)
1. How long before Your peace will come? Bring comfort, Lord,
to Israel
How long ’til Your Anointed comes and David’s house will be
restored?
Lord, see our sorrow, hear our prayer, do not withhold Your
grace and care
O Comforter, come heal this land, we long to see Your
sovereign hand
2. You lead me to Your temple courts, I see the hope of Israel
Your reign of peace and justice comes, the nations see and
stand in awe
O blessed is the Prince of peace, the King who sets Your
people free
O blessed is this Holy Child, whose death will lead us into life
3. Lord, now You let me go in peace, You’ve kept Your promise
made to me
Your gift of mercy I receive, this Light and Hope for all to see
And on the day my strength gives way, You’ll welcome me in
Your embrace
this hope sustains me all my days, until at last I see Your face
And on the day my strength gives way, You’ll welcome me in
Your embrace
this hope sustains me all my days, until at last I see Your
face
Lord, now You let me go in peace
