Christmas     Christmas 1     Luke 2:22-40, particularly verses 25-38

Looking (YB No 92) 

We look for signs that give us hope

And rescue us from woes;

And Simeon looked for these times -

Relief from Israel’s foes.

Salvation promised long ago

Was what he longed to see;

He sensed, with Jesus in his arms,

His dreams had come to be.

And Anna, in the temple court,

Prayed every day and night;

She spoke of Jesus as God’s sign

In whom they could delight.

But where can we see hopeful signs

Of God at work today?

It surely is in deeds of love,

When mercy’s on display.

When we are willing to fogive

And let compassion reign, 

We then release these godly signs -

Unveiling God’s domain.
