SONG XXXV. Nunc Dimittis. Luk. 2. 29.

[_]

Sing this as the third Song.

Grant now in peace (that by thy leaue)
I may depart, oh Lord:
For, thy Saluation seene I haue,
According to thy Word.
That which prepared was by Thee,
Before all Peoples sight,
Thy Israels Renowne to be:
And to the Gentiles Light.
