"Simeon was devout and righteous,
Waiting for the consolation of Israel..."
Can anyone claim that today?
Christ promised to return,
But do we believe He will?
Are we devout and righteous,
Waiting for the Second Coming?
I can only pray that it be so,
And remember the joy of Simeon
As he held the baby Jesus in his hands.
"For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
A light to lighten the Gentiles,
And the glory to thy people, Israel."
These are the words of Advent for me:
Christ comes for all.
