The Hymnal 1982 #S196
Antiphon:
Mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
which thou hast prepared before the face of all people.
1. Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace,
according to thy word;
2. For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
which thou hast prepared before the face of all people,
3. To be a light to lighten the Gentiles,
and to be the glory of thy people Israel. [Ant.]
4 Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit:
5 As it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be for ever. Amen. [Ant.]
