The canticle of Simeon sung daily at Compline.
Loading the liturgical day and its saints…
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.
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
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.
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.
