THE CANTICLE OF SIMEON.
Now dost thou dismiss thy servant, O Lord, in peace: according to Thy word.
For mine eyes have seen Thy salvation.
Which Thou hast prepared before the face of all Thy people.
A light to enlighten the Gentiles, and the glory of Thy people Israel.
Glory be to the Father, &c.
Ant. Save us, O Lord, when we are awake, and keep us while we sleep, that we may watch with Christ, and rest in peace (In Paschal time, Alleluia).
