German text

Maria wallt zum Heiligtum
und bringt ihr Kindlein dar,
das schaut der greise Simeon,
wie ihm verheißen war.
Da nimmt er Jesum in den Arm
und singt im Geiste froh:
Nun fahr' ich hin mit Freud,
dich, Heiland, sah ich heut,
du Trost von Israel, das Licht der Welt.

English translation

Mary went to the temple and brought her beloved child there,
who was seen by the aged Simeon, as the prophets had foretold.
Simeon took Jesus in his arms, and joyfully sang:
Now I go forth with joy, for today I have seen You, Savior —
comfort of Israel, light of the World.

English text by J. Troutbeck

When to the temple Mary went,
And brought the Holy Child,
Him did the aged Simeon see,
As it had been revealed.
He took up Jesus in his arms
And blessing God he said:
In peace I now depart, my Saviour having seen,
The Hope of Israel, the Light of men.

Help now thy servants, gracious Lord,
That we may ever be
As once the faithful Simeon was,
Rejoicing but in Thee;
And when we must from earth departure take,
May gently fall asleep and with Thee wake.
