Evening Service in G Minor, Z. 231: II. Nunc dimittis

Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace:

according to thy word.

For mine eyes have seen: thy salvation; Which thou hast prepared:

before the face of all people;

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.
