The Song of Simeon

Nunc Dimittis

Luke 2:29-32

Lord, you now have set your servant free *to go in peace as you have promised;

For these eyes of mine have seen the Savior, *whom you have prepared for all the world to see:

A Light to enlighten the nations, *and the glory of your people Israel.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
