#313: O Lord, Now Let Your Servant
Apr. 29th, 2020 11:08 pmThis text is by our well-travelled friend Ernest Ryden. It's an adaptation of the Song of Simeon, previously featured in the "End Time" section (there are several others in the service music section, which actually makes sense because it's often sung at the end of worship). Even less clear why it's here. There's a lot of "Jesus=Light" imagery associated with the Transfiguration, which is at the end of the Epiphany season, so maybe that? The Transfiguration hymns sort of form a mini-section within this one.
