Text
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 tuæ Israel.


Now you let your servant depart in peace, O Lord,
according to your word.


For my eyes have seen your salvation which you
have prepared before the face of all peoples:


a light to lighten the nations,
and the glory of your people Israel.
