The priests stood waiting in the holy place	A
Impatient of delay	B
Isaiah had been read	C
When sudden up the aisle there came a face	A
Like a lost sun's ray	B
And the child was led	C
By Joachim and Anna Rays of grace	A
Shone all about the child	D
Simeon looked on and bowed his aged head	C
Looked on the child and smiled	D
	-
Low were the words of Joachim He spake	E
In a tremulous way	B
As if he were afraid	F
Or as if his heart were just about to break	E
And knew not what to say	B
And low he bowed his head	C
While Anna wept the while he sobbing said	C
Priests of the holy temple will you take	E
Into your care our child	D
And Simeon listening prayed and strangely smiled	D
	-
A silence for a moment fell on all	G
They gazed in mute surprise	H
Not knowing what to say	B
Till Simeon spake Child hast thou heaven's call	G
And the child's wondrous eyes	H
Each look a lost sun's ray	B
Turned toward the far mysterious wall	G
Did the veil of the temple sway	B
They looked from the curtain to the little child	D
Simeon seemed to pray and strangely smiled	D
	-
Yes heaven sent me here Priests let me in	I
And the voice was sweet and low	J
Was it a dream by night	K
A voice did call me from this world of sin	I
A spirit voice I know	J
An angel pure and bright	K
Leave father mother ' said the voice and win'	J
I see my angel now	J
The crown of a virgin's vow '	-
I am three summers old a little child	D
And Simeon seemed to pray the while he smiled	D
	-
Yes holy priests our father's God is great	L
And all His mercies sweet	M
His angel bade me come	N
Come thro' the temple's beautiful gate	L
He led my heart and feet	M
To this my holy home	O
He said to me Three years your God will wait	L
Your heart to greet and meet '	-
I am three summers old	P
I see my angel now	J
Brighter his wings than gold	P
He knoweth of my vow	J
The priests in awe came closer to the child	D
She wore an angel's look and Simeon smiled	D
	-
As if she were the very holy ark	Q
Simeon placed his hand	R
On the fair pure head	C
The sun had set and it was growing dark	Q
The robed priests did stand	R
Around the child He said	C
Unto me priests and all ye Levites hark	Q
This child is God's own gift	S
Let us our voices lift	S
In holy praise They gazed upon the child	D
In wonderment and Simeon prayed and smiled	D
	-
And Joachim and Anna went their way	B
The little child she shed	C
The tenderest human tears	T
The priests and Levites lingered still to pray	B
And Simeon said	C
We teach the latter years	U
The night is passing 'fore the coming day	B
Isaiah had been read	C
Of our redemption and some way the child	D
Won all their hearts Simeon prayed and smiled	D
	-
That night the temple's child knelt down to pray	B
In the shadows of the aisle	V
She prayed for you and me	W
Why did the temple's mystic curtain sway	B
Why did the shadows smile	V
The child of Love's decree	W
Had come at last and 'neath the night stars' gleam	X
The aged Simeon did see in dream	X
The mystery of the child	D
And in his sleep he murmured prayer and smiled	D
	-
And twelve years after up the very aisle	V
Where Simeon had smiled	D
Upon her fair pure face	A
She came again with a mother's smile	V
And in her arms a Child	D
The very God of grace	A
And Simeon took the Infant from her breast	Y
And in glad tones and strong	Z
He sang his glorious song	Z
Of faith and hope and everlasting rest	Y
