 The Song of Simeon   Nunc dimittis

Lord, you now have set your servant free *
 * to go in peace as you have promised;

For these eyes of mine have seen the Savior, *
 * whom you have prepared for all the world to see:

A Light to enlighten the nations, *
 * and the glory of your people Israel.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *
 * as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
 * creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
 * He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
 * and born of the Virgin Mary.
 * He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
 * was crucified, died, and was buried.
 * He descended to the dead.
 * On the third day he rose again.
 * He ascended into heaven,
 * and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
 * He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
 * the holy catholic Church,
 * the communion of saints,
 * the forgiveness of sins,
 * the resurrection of the body,
 * and the life everlasting.  Amen.
