Nunc Dimittis [short service] (Luke 2:29-32) – Orlando Gibbons

Luke 2:29-32

Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace; according to thy word; For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast 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…]
