808. Song of Simeon (Nunc Dimittis)

O God, now let your servant go in peace,
your word has been fulfilled:
my own eyes your salvation have seen,
prepared by you in the sight of all people:
a light to reveal you to the nations,
and the glory of your people Israel.

Spanish -
Ahora, oh Dios despide a tu siervo en pas
conforme a tu palabra;
porque han visto mis ojos tu salvación,
la cual preparaste en presencia de todos los pueblos,
luz para revelación a los gentiles,
y la gloria de tu pueblo Israel.
