Nunc Dimittis (The Song of Simeon)

1 Now, Lord, you let your servant go in peace:

which you have prepared in the sight of every people;

3 A light to reveal you to 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 shall be for ever. Amen.
