Lyrics: 

Nunc dimíttis servum tuum, Dómine, secúndum verbum tuum in pace. V. Quia vidérunt óculi mei salutáre tuum. V. Quod parásti ante fáciem ómnium populórum. V. Lumen ad revelatiónem géntium et glóriam plebis tuæ Israël.

Translated Lyrics: 

Now Thou dost dismiss Thy servant, O Lord, according to Thy word in peace. V. Because my eyes have seen Thy salvation. V. Which Thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples. V. Light to the revelation of the Gentiles and the glory of Thy people Israel.
