600. Lord, Now Lettest Thou Thy Servant Depart

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.
