Luke 2:29-31
Lord, now let you your servant depart in peace, according to your word:…


When his end was near, Dr. Grierson of Errol, after various Psalms and portions of Scripture had been read to him, asked his children to conclude by singing the hymn, "Safe in the arms of Jesus." After they had sung it, he said, "I feel ram safe there. Death has no power nor fear for me at all now." And when told that it was drawing near the morning, he exclaimed, "Oh, let me go, for the day breaketh! I feel Jesus very near by me. Dear Lord, let me go!"
