Nunc dimittis

This piece is paired with the Magnificat written by Charlotte Baskerville to form the Canticles of Peace.

Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace: according to thy word.
For mine eyes have seen thy salvation; which thou has 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.

Luke 2:29-32
