Now let your servant depart in peace.
According to your word.
Simeon and Anna prayed without cease.
Faithful to the word.

For mine eyes have seen your salvation.
That you have prepared in the people’s presence.
Now we sense our own redemption.
We feel an eternal essence.

We lit the candles in church expectantly.
The dark illuminated in light.
Reverently.
To continue our spiritual fight.

Simeon waited a very long time.
But his faith came alright in time.

……

Wait with Simeon
Our faith will be rewarded
Or that’s what we hope

See Luke 2 : 22-40
