¶Lyrics / Text

Lord, you now have set your servant free to go in peace as you have promised; For these eyes of mine have seen the Savior, whom you have prepared for all the world to see: A Light to enlighten the nations, and the glory of your people Israel. In the darkness a light gleams, a tiny spark in a shadowy universe, persisting, glowing, growing, illuminating the world. Like the star the Magi followed, the Light made flesh guides mankind out of chaos to the ordered glory of the Living God. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen
