See Luke 2:29-32
“Now, my Lord, Your promise met
I may in peace go home,
For long awaited promises
Today my eyes behold.
Salvation in an infant’s face
Prepared before each tribe and race
Revealing light of saving grace
Israel’s glory foretold”
“This child will cause the fall and rise
Of many in this land,
A sign for opposition
From the lowly and the grand.
A sword will pierce your very soul
The inmost thoughts of many show
You, blessed to bear Him, blessed to mourn,
Hold Him with open hand.”
