LyicsNow have our hearts embrac'd our God,
We should forget all earthly charms,
And wish to die as Simeon would,
With the great Saviour in his arms.
Our lips would learn that joyful song,
Were but our hearts prepar'd like his-
Our souls still willing to be gone,
And at thy word depart in peace.
Here we have seen thy face, O Lord,
And view'd salvation with our eyes-
Tasted and felt the living word,
The bread descending from the skies.
Thou hast prepar'd this slaughter'd lamb-
Hast set his blood before our face,
To teach the terrors of his name,
And shew the wonders of thy grace.
He is our light, our morning star
Shall shine on nations yet unknown;
The glory of thine Israel here,
And joy of spirits near thy throne.
