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.
