Receive Him with Joy

“Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.” – (Simeon’s song)

“And our eyes at last shall see him through his own redeeming love, for that child so dear and gentle is our Lord in Heaven above. And he leads his children on to the place where he has gone.” – (from “Once in Royal David’s City”)
