122:9.4 For this occasion Anna had written a poem which Simeon proceeded to sing, much to the astonishment of Joseph, Mary, and all who were assembled in the temple courts. And this was their hymn of the redemption of the first-born son:
:Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
:For he has visited us and wrought redemption for his people;
:He has raised up a horn of salvation for all of us
:In the house of his servant David.
:Even as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets—
:Salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us;
:To show mercy to our fathers, and remember his holy covenant—
:The oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
:To grant us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies,
:Should serve him without fear,
:In holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
:Yes, and you, child of promise, shall be called the prophet of the Most High;
:For you shall go before the face of the Lord to establish his kingdom;
:To give knowledge of salvation to his people
:In the remission of their sins.
:Rejoice in the tender mercy of our God because the dayspring from on high has now visited us
:To shine upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death;
:To guide our feet into ways of peace.
:And now let your servant depart in peace, O Lord, according to your word,
:For my eyes have seen your salvation,
:Which you have prepared before the face of all peoples;
:A light for even the unveiling of the gentiles
:And the glory of your people Israel.
