The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple


Oh sweet Mary and Joseph 
Who presented your son Jesus in the temple
There was a man named Simeon in the Temple.
He was praying for the coming of the Messiah
When he saw Jesus, he knew that his prayers had been answered
And blessed Jesus, and said, 
"Oh God let thy servant depart in peace according to thy word 
For my eyes have seen thy salvation, 
The glory of Israel, 
And a light unto the gentiles".

There was also a prophetess named, Anna.
Who told about the Savior to all who wanted to see him.
She was widow and she spent her days in prayer and fasting.
Like Simeon, all her prayers were answered when Jesus appeared.

Amen
