The Hymnal of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America 1940 ‎#668

668. Nunc dimittis

1 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace,
according to thy word.

2 For mine eyes have seen
thy salvation,

3 Which thou hast prepared
before the face of all people;

4 To be a light to lighten the Gentiles,
and to be the glory of thy people Israel.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.
