Nunc Dimittis

Canticle of Simeon

1 min

Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord,

according to thy word in peace;

Because my eyes have seen thy salvation,

Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples:

A light to the revelation of the Gentiles,

and the glory of thy people Israel.

Canticum Simeonis

Nunc dimittis servum tuum, Domine,

secundum verbum tuum in pace:

Quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum

Quod parasti ante faciem omnium populorum:

Lumen ad revelationem gentium,

et gloriam plebis tuae Israel.
