\"Presentation<\/a> <\/p>\n

<\/font><\/font>Let Zion<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>‘s bridal-room be clothed:
He comes, her Lord and her Betrothed.
Let bride and Bridegroom, by faith’s light,
A vigil keep throughout the night.<\/p>\n

Saint Simeon, go forth in joy.
Exult to see the baby Boy:
Make known to all the Light divine<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/font>That soon on ev’ry land shall shine.<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/font>His parents to the temple bring
The Temple as an offering
The righteousness of law He chose
Though to the law He nothing owes.<\/p>\n

So, Mary, bring this little one,
Yours and the Father’s only Son
Through whom our offering is made
By whom our ransom price is paid.<\/p>\n

And forward, royal Virgin, go
And let rejoicing overflow
With gifts bring forth your newborn Son
Who comes to rescue everyone. <\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/font>Lord Jesus Christ, the Glory bright<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/font>Who guides the nations into light<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/font>Be praised, and for eternity<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/font>Be glorified, O Trinity. Amen.<\/o:p><\/font><\/p>\n
