Mary and Joseph Came to the Temple

Author: Andrew Pratt Meter: 5.5.5.4 D Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:22-39 First Line: Mary and Joseph Lyrics: 1 Mary and Joseph came to the temple brought the boy Jesus, offered him there. People were waiting wanting to greet him; long had they sought him, solace for care. 2 Anna had prayed there, widowed, long waiting, worshiping God by day and by night. Now she is praising, filled with elation: here is God's promise, Christ is her light. 3 Simeon sings now: God proffers blessing, brilliantly gilding dawn of his day. Light in the darkness, never extinguished, Light of all nations, light up our way.

Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 911 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:22-35 Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us your aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on his cradle the dewdrops are shining; Low lies his head with the beasts of the stall: Angels adore him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Savior of all! 3 Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom and offerings divine, Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would his favor secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.
