Religion
Nunc Dimittis (Luk. 2.29)
From The Hymnes and Songs of the Church (1623)
Religion
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.
