[length: 03:28]
[00:13.43]An old man in the temple waiting in the court
[00:20.21]Waiting for the answer to a promise
[00:26.71]And all at once he sees them in the morning sunshine
[00:33.29]A couple come in carrying a baby
[00:40.00]Now that I’ve held him in my arms
[00:46.25]My life can now come to an end
[00:53.45]Let Your servant now depart in peace
[00:59.45]’Cause I’ve seen Your salvation
[01:03.05]He’s the light of the gentiles
[01:06.38]And the glory of his people, Israel
[01:23.72]Mary and the baby come and in her hand five shekels
[01:30.22]The price to redeem her baby boy
[01:36.73]The baby softly cooing, nestled in her arms
[01:43.48]Simeon takes the boy and starts to sing
[01:50.43]Now that I’ve held him in my arms
[01:56.40]My life can now come to an end
[02:03.42]Let Your servant now depart in peace
[02:09.63]’Cause I’ve seen Your salvation
[02:13.18]He’s the Light of the gentiles
[02:16.48]And the glory of his people Israel, ooh-ooh-ooh
[02:33.55]And now’s the time to take him in your arms
[02:40.19]Your life will never come to an end
[02:47.33]He’s the only way that you’ll find peace
[02:53.67]He’ll give you salvation
[02:56.76]’Cause He’s the light of the gentiles
[03:00.55]And the glory of His people Israel, ooh-ooh-ooh
