The Lord’s Prayer (page 8).
Nunc Dimittis (The Song of Simeon):
Lord, now you have set your servant free:
to go in peace as you have promised.
For these eyes of mine have seen your salvation:
which you have prepared for all the world to see;
A light to reveal you to the nations:
and to give glory to your people Israel.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and shall be for ever. Amen.
One or more of these prayers, or other suitable prayers, may be used:
Heavenly Father,
in your son Jesus Christ
you have given us a true faith and a sure hope.
Strengthen this faith and hope in us all our days
that we may live as those who believe in
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins
and the resurrection to eternal life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
God be in my head,
and in my understanding;
God be in my eyes,
and in my looking;
God be in my mouth,
and in my speaking;
God be in my heart,
and in my thinking;
God be at my end,
and at my departing. Amen.
May the angels lead you home to paradise,
The martyrs welcome you as you draw near;
may they lead you into the heavenly Jerusalem.
May the choirs of angels welcome you;
and, with Lazarus who is poor no longer,
may you find eternal rest. Amen.
