On the eighth day, the child was named, Jesus, as the angel had proclaimed
Mary and Joseph brought him near, To the temple God's plan clear
Sovereign Lord, your promise true, Salvation's light for all to view
A sign of hope for hearts to see, God's glory reveal, Setting us free
Simeon saw, his heart was glad, The promise kept, the hope he had
He held the child, his eyes could see, God's salvation, setting us free
Sovereign Lord, your promise true, Salvation's light for all to view
A sign of hope for hearts to see, God's glory reveal, Setting us free
Hannah the prophet prayed night and day, For the redemption that would come their way
She spoke of the child, with joy so bright, A hope for Jerusalem, a guiding light
Sovereign Lord, your promise true, Salvation's light for all to view
A sign of hope for hearts to see, God's glory reveal, Setting us free
A deep sorrow, yet a radiant promise, In this child, the redemption of the world
Through his life, we are drawn to the Father, And in his presence, we find our peace
The child grew strong, filled with grace, God's favor rested on his face
As he walks among us, hope is near, In Jesus our Savior, we draw near
