'"OUR EYES HAVE SEEN, OUR EARS HAVE HEARD"
Malachi 3: 1, Luke 2: 22-40
(A HYMN CELEBRATING THE PRESENTATION OF JESUS IN THE TEMPLE [CANDLEMAS])


God’s messenger‚ in times long past‚
found pleasure in forth-telling
that glory would return at last
to God’s most holy dwelling.
The Lord would come there suddenly
and each perceptive eye would see
the evidence compelling.

So humble people tarried long
in watching and in praying,
their faith expectant, vibrant, strong,
deep trust in God displaying.
And then there came quite suddenly
fulfilment of the prophecy‚
of that inspired old saying.


Verses 3-4 follow
