Author: Andrew Pratt Hymnal: Glory to God #148 (2013) Meter: 5.5.5.4 D First Line: Mary and Joseph Lyrics: 1 Mary and Joseph
came to the temple
brought the boy Jesus,
offered him there.
People were waiting
wanting to greet him;
long had they sought him,
solace for care.
2 Anna had prayed there,
widowed, long waiting,
worshiping God by
day and by night.
Now she is praising,
filled with elation:
here is God's promise,
Christ is her light.
3 Simeon sings now:
God proffers blessing,
brilliantly gilding
dawn of his day.
Light in the darkness,
never extinguished,
Light of all nations,
light up our way. Topics: Christian Year Nativity/Christmas; Christian Year Epiphany; Jesus Christ Birth; Light Scripture: Luke 2:22-39 Languages: English Tune Title: EVENING HYMN
