This was also in CWB II set to BANGOR, but the earlier edition used CONSOLATION aka MORNING SONG. This tune is more likely by Elkanah Dare than “Mr Dean” – see Hymnary.
The text is by Frank Quinn, which is perplexing because James Quinn’s text is more well known and gets in the way of research.
I’m not sure where I got the chords for my backing from as they are different to what is in Together in Song – probably from Hymnary.
1 My master, see, the time has come to give your servant leave to go in peace,
Long waited for your promise now fulfilled.
2 For I have seen salvation, Lord, and this may all men see:
That light which is your Israel’s boast enlightening every land.
4 Almighty Father, hear out cry through Christ the only son,
Whom in the Spirit we adore for ages withour end.
