Song of Simeon

English

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 nations; a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

Church Slavonic

Ны́не отпуща́еши раба́ Твоего́, Влады́ко, по глаго́лу Твоему́ с ми́ром, я́ко ви́деста о́чи мои́ Спасе́ние Твое́, Е́же еси́ угото́вал пред лице́м всех люде́й, Свет во Открове́ние язы́ков и сла́ву люде́й Твои́х Изра́иля.
