The Song of Simeon

Nunc Dimittis

Luke 2:29-32

Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, *according to thy word;

For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, *which thou hast prepared before the face of all people,

To be a light to lighten the Gentiles, *and to be the glory of thy 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.
