Simeon's Canticle (Hangad)

This liturgical song based from the Nunc Dimittis of Simeon was composed and written by Fr. Manoling Francisco, SJ. It is an appropriate Communion song for the Advent Season. It is also an appropriate Communion song for the 5th Day within the Octave of Christmas (Dec. 29), the Feast of the Holy Family (Cycle B), and the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord (Feb. 2). Rendering this song is the Hangad Music Ministry, the original recording artist of the said song from the album “Hangad”.

“Now, Master, you may let your servant go in peace, according to your word,
for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you prepared in sight of all the peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and glory for your people Israel.” (Luke 2:29-32)
