An old man in the temple waiting in the court
Waiting for the answer to a promise
And all at once he sees them in the morning sunshine
A couple come in carrying a baby
Now that I've held him in my arms
My life can now come to an end
Let Your servant now depart in peace
'Cause I've seen Your salvation
He's the light of the gentiles
And the glory of his people, Israel
Mary and the baby come and in her hand five shekels
The price to redeem her baby boy
The baby softly cooing, nestled in her arms
Simeon takes the boy and starts to sing
Now that I've held him in my arms
My life can now come to an end
Let Your servant now depart in peace
'Cause I've seen Your salvation
He's the Light of the gentiles
And the glory of his people Israel, ooh-ooh-ooh
And now's the time to take him in your arms
Your life will never come to an end
He's the only way that you'll find peace
He'll give you salvation
'Cause He's the light of the gentiles
And the glory of His people Israel, ooh-ooh-ooh
