about

Simeon takes the child in his arms and thanks God that he has lived to see the Messiah come. He has a warning though, too, for Mary the mother.

lyrics

Now, you've come at last,
And as you promised, Lord, now I can slip away.
And now, my time has passed,
And I can die in peace for I have seen the dawning of your day.

Here within my hands,
I hold the promise of salvation for us all.
A light to all the lands
He’;ll be the glory of us all in Israel

Israel Israel Israel Israel
Israel Israel Israel Israel

And you, Oh precious boy,
As innocent, you blink your eyes against the light.
Be now a mother's joy
And grow in grace until you face the coming horrors of the night.

And you, his mother mild,
Be sure that when the time comes you can let him go.
Protect and love your child.
One day a sword will cut the cord and wound your soul.

This child, so weak, so small
He'll change us all and bring a world of wrong to right
He'll cause the rise and fall
Of many in this land and sins long hidden will be brought to light

The light has come to shine
And all the blackest, foulest night will be undone.
And this, this joy is mine,
For I have lived to see the gift of God has come

And he has come! He has come! Immanuel! He has come!
And he has come! He has come! Immanuel! He has come!
