Based on the Nunc Dimittis, or the Song of Simeon (Luke 2:29–32), used in many evening liturgies, including the Book of Common Prayer
Lyrics:
You now release
and send your servants, Lord,
to go in peace
according to your Word.
Having waited, we will act.
Having listened, we will speak.
Having seen the Christ at last,
we now go in peace.
Our eyes beheld
your saving Light prepared
and now revealed
for nations everywhere.
Having waited, we will act.
Having listened, we will speak.
Having seen the Christ at last,
we now go in peace.
