Simeon’s Song Songtext
von Ordinary Time

Now You can dismiss Your servant in peace
As you have promised, so you have done
This child will make a child of me
Just before night my morning has come


Some will say that the Lord need not come
Holding their torches to light their own way
But I am old, hopes have faded away
Save this one hope in my arms this day

My eyes have seen your salvation
You are the Lord, Your lips do not lie
Promised to Adam, promised to me
My eyes have seen Now I can die
