Peace Presentation

Tune: Woodlands

('Tell out my soul')

Luke 2 v.25-38 parts

*********

Christ presented in the Temple, age 40 days.

A sort of Dedication ceremony

Candlemas Day - February 2.

*********

Lord, now let your servant depart in peace

You have shown him your mercies, they ne'er cease

So said Simeon in the Temple there

Prophecy with Mary, Joseph, did share

 

It was according to the Lord's word, he

Promised Simeon before he died, see

He would the Lord's Christ, presented, young babe

This favour the Lord unto him He gave

 

For he said, My eyes have the salvation

Seen, which you have prepared for each nation

A light to lighten the Gentiles, non-Jews

[The] Glory of Jews, people you first did choose

 

Mary and Joseph marvelled at those words

Of their Christ-child, the message they had heard

And Anna too, a prophetess was there

She gave thanks, and of redemption did share

          Thanks M. The Nobel Peace Prize, from the inventor of dynamite! Doh! Well, it can be put to good uses too, I suppose.
          One said 'I'm a man of peace; and if you don't agree with me, I will punch you on the nose'.
